Substance Misuse & Mental HealthVancouver Island & Lower Mainland
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.
Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351Craig 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The family is never just the backdrop. They’re part of the story too.
Craig works with the whole family — not just the person struggling.
I didn’t realise I needed help too. Craig helped me see my own patterns, my own exhaustion, and gave me tools to hold my boundaries without destroying my relationship with my son.
