Feeling powerless when a loved one is struggling with addiction? 'Coming Up for Air' offers a lifeline in this episode. Hosts Dominique Simone-Levine, Lori McDougall, and Annie Highwater focus on actionable steps families can take today to make a difference.

By sharing these practical steps, they provide a roadmap that can help families feel more in control and hopeful.
Dominique Simone-Levine reminds us that 'CRAFT is the fastest way through', offering a tangible way forward for those feeling stuck. Tune in to discover how small actions can lead to big changes.
