What Craig Does

Family Coaching & Support

Sometimes a formal intervention isn't the right next step. Family coaching gives families the tools, language, and strategy to change the dynamic — and create the conditions where their loved one can accept help.

How It Works

The process, step by step.

01

Understanding your situation · before any action

Craig starts by listening. Every situation is different — the substance, the history, the relationships, the prior attempts. He needs to understand yours fully before recommending any course of action.

02

Communication strategy · what to say and how to say it

How you talk to someone about their addiction matters enormously. Craig coaches family members in language that opens doors rather than triggering defensiveness — grounded in compassion, not ultimatum.

03

Setting healthy boundaries · without abandoning them

Boundaries are not rejection. Craig helps families understand the difference between enabling and supporting — and how to draw lines that protect both the family and the person struggling.

04

Knowing when to escalate · from coaching to intervention

Sometimes family coaching resolves the situation. Sometimes it clarifies that a formal intervention is necessary. Craig will tell you honestly which path he believes your situation requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is family coaching for addiction?

Family coaching gives families the tools, communication strategies, and boundary-setting skills to change the dynamic around a loved one's addiction — without necessarily doing a formal intervention right away.

How is family coaching different from an intervention?

An intervention is a structured, facilitated event aimed at getting a loved one into treatment on a specific day. Family coaching is an ongoing process that equips the family to navigate the situation over time.

Can Craig tell me if we need a formal intervention or just coaching?

Yes. After a free consultation call Craig will give you his honest assessment of what your situation requires — whether that's coaching, a formal intervention, or something else entirely.

Why now

Waiting feels safe. It isn’t.

Addiction gets worse with time. In BC, about five people a day died from toxic drugs in 2025 (BC Coroners Service). Rock bottom is not always a place people come back from.

Why Craig

You may get one real chance.

Done badly, an intervention pushes people away. Craig has led hundreds. He knows what to say when they argue, bargain or walk out, and he has treatment ready so a yes means help that day.

There is hope

People do come back.
