learn craft online

Having created CRAFT and spent the last 30+ years conducting research, authoring books and training professionals globally through our Intensive Training services offered by RJ Meyers & Associates, I have now teamed up with We The Village to bring my CRAFT expertize online so even more people can access CRAFT from the source.

Through my We The Village Online Training Programs you can access expert training and online curriculums that step through the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) procedures the way I designed them, tailored to both professionals and families.

In these programs, professionals learn to work with families, and families learn to engage loved ones in treatment and recovery, while improving family health outcomes through a combination of automated online lessons and virtual live sessions.

These are the only clinically validated online CRAFT programs proven to help families recover and professionals to achieve the fidelity and client outcomes we know CRAFT can produce. Our thanks to the National Institute on Drug Abuse for funding the clinical trials.

Thank you for visiting my website and helping families recover with CRAFT!

get your loved one sober

I am excited to announce my book, Get Your Loved One Sober, is now available in Spanish. This effort is years in the making and is much needed. It is available for purchase through Hazelden Publishing here.

Me alegra anunciar que mi libro, Logre que su ser querido alcance la sobriedad, está disponible en español. Este esfuerzo lleva años desarrollándose y es muy necesario. Está disponible para su compra a través de Hazelden Publishing aquí.

Del libro: ESTE ES UN LIBRO para quienes "lo han probado todo" con el fin de que sus seres queridos logren la sobriedad (desde regaños y reclamos, hasta súplicas y sobornos, e incluso el distanciamiento), sin éxito.Al usar el enfoque compasivo y a la vez eficaz de este libro, los cónyuges, las parejas, los padres o los hijos de las personas con problemas de bebida o consumo de drogas pueden mejorar la calidad de su propia vida y volver la sobriedad una opción más satisfactoria que beber o consumir drogas para sus seres queridos. Basado en el modelo científicamente validado CRAFT (Refuerzo comunitario y capacitación familiar), Logre que su ser querido alcance la sobriedad brinda la orientación y las herramientas que necesita para reconocer cómo usted y su ser querido interactúan y para cambiar esos patrones con el fin de lograr resultados más saludables y felices.
