My son made it into a recovery program in California! I realize through my participation in your course, I now have the tools needed to succeed in supporting him no matter what the outcome.

"The best part? Having others that relate to what I'm going through, support and learning new techniques to use with my loved one...I come in frustrated and leave sessions hopeful and optimistic.

That is the biggest difference between CRAFT and a 12 steps program. CRAFT provides you the tools to play in the arena to change your outcomes whereas 12 steps has you sitting on the sidelines waiting.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER - JANE MACKY

B.A. (Psychology & Philosophy), 
M.A. (Mental Health Counselling),
Jane is also a CRAFT Certified Coach.

In 2012 I discovered my best friend and colleague (now husband) was struggling with addiction and in the years following I struggled to support him and his family.

If you're reading this then you probably know how that feels.

I felt the insidious secrecy and isolation, and I saw how inaccessible quality information was for people like me: the friends and families so motivated to help our loved ones - those 23 million Americans struggling with substance use disorders each year. So many affected, still our cultural conditioning keeps us silent about it.


Most approaches had me sitting on the sidelines and feeling bad about how much I cared, instead of actively participating in a solution-based way. Yet research shows that family and friends can effectively use their relationships to improve addiction outcomes, if only we had the skills.

"It's my belief that every family on the front lines facing addiction deserves access to the top standard of support, and that with evidence-based knowledge and skills we gain a fighting chance against it."

Eventually I was given a book (and eventually I read) about Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), the leading evidence-based method for families with a loved one in addiction. I knew I was onto something different: evidence-based, optimistic and action-oriented.  

But why did so few people know about it?
Why was it hidden away in a book? And how do I apply it to my relationship?

I founded We The Village in 2018 with the mission to close the addiction knowledge gap for families and to arm them with skills to change their loved one's addiction trajectory.  We do this by surfacing and training families in the leading science-backed skills paired with stigma-free support in modern, accessible, digital programs. And we do this by connecting members with uniquely expert family addiction specialists.

We teamed up with Dr. Meyers, the creator of CRAFT to produce the exact online CRAFT Course & Coaching Process that we're now offering to you.  We rigorously tested this in a Clinical Trial funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) to ensure it lived up to our standards and achieved conclusive results, which it did! We saw high rates of treatment entry, retention, and improved quality of life for your loved one and you! (Among other impressive outcomes.)

We believe in empowering families to get through addiction recovery.

This work we do is not easy but, you and I, we're the right people to do it.

You may feel like you've tried everything, but you haven't tried this...yet!I hope you will give our Course a go, it's the training I wish I had.
We're here, every step of the way with you.

So, let's begin!
