The original CRAFT is outcome-driven and behavioral-based, aimed at getting people into treatment. Allies has made it more connection- and relationship-oriented, focused on listening and communication. The same skill set Allies focuses on — validating, not arguing, not giving advice or challenging someone's reality or perception — often works with someone dealing with mental health challenges. Creating that space helps that person feel calm and heard.

At Allies in Recovery, we train, guide, and support families using the CRAFT method—an evidence-based approach that helps families shift the dynamic with a loved one struggling with addiction and often mental health struggles. Self-care is a cornerstone of this process, but for many, it’s something we have to learn from scratch.

A membership at Allies in Recovery gives you unlimited access to:
✔ Step-by-step CRAFT training through our online learning platform
✔ Support groups and a community that understands what you're going through
✔ A Q&A blog with expert guidance
✔ And much more!
