Title: The Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach – family support for the 2020s? Our experience supporting families globally using ITC
Presenters: Dave and Tina James, Founders of the www.alternat-i-ves.org website.
Description: In the UK alone, five million family members (source: https://adfam.org.uk) are seriously affected by their loved ones’ use of alcohol and other drugs (AODs). Overwhelmingly, the services focus on the person struggling with substances. The Invitation to Change (ITC) approach is designed from the ground up to help professionals and family members, like Dave and Tina, support themselves and their loved ones. ITC is based upon Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) combined with Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ITC is developed by the Center for Motivation and Change in New York, the authors of the book, Beyond Addiction. Dave and Tina are currently the only people in the UK supporting families globally using this latest method. They will be giving an introduction to the ITC wheel and how they successfully use it to support families like themselves..
