CMC Announcements

January 6, 2016

CMC is delighted to have partnered with Bountiful Films and Magnify Digital on a first-of-its-kind online resource based on the 20 Minute Guide, CRAFT and motivational strategies. Addiction. The Next Step is a website and an Interactive Guide built with financial support from the Telus Fund. The Interactive Guide enables visitors to define their own journey through videos, tips, and other tools designed to teach concerned family members how to communicate in a manner that motivates their loved one toward change, while reducing family fear and stress. The Interactive Guide will offer a range of scenarios that represent the issues families face when dealing with a substance use problem. Drs. Jeff Foote and Carrie Wilkens, co-founders of the Center for Motivation and Change, will deliver advice and practical tools to support your efforts toward changing the dynamics of your home and family. The Interactive Guide will be launching in January 2016. If you sign up for our newsletter we will remind you! The Interactive Guide will be a free program that can be used at your convenience as you need it.
