Three regional Family Support Centers (FSC) provide free individualized and group peer to peer family support services for families in each region whose loved ones suffer from a substance use disorder. FSCs offer direct family support, education, resources and advocacy in a safe and non-stigmatizing environment. Each regional center is staffed with Family Support Coordinators with lived experiences who are specially trained in the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) Model which teaches families self-protection along with non-confrontational skills to help empower their loved one to seek treatment; as well as helping each family member develop and work on their own Individualized Wellness Recovery Plan. The overall goal of the FSC Coordinator is to provide compassionate support to empower family members to have a better quality of life, improve their psychological health, reduce levels of stress, feel less isolated, and gain skills needed to cope with their loved one’s use. Families who receive FSC services also receive Naloxone Training and Kits to assist their loved ones at risk of opioid overdose.
