How Does CRAFT Work at a Distance?

Graphic Design by Lizabeth Laroche

CRAFT can work from far away. Pay attention to yourself as well as your loved one – if something increases your anxiety afterward, that’s not a great tool. Changes may not be enormous – keep trying things and keep stepping back more and more. Shift your behavior and notice what works. This helps you keep going, and not do harm.

Allies in Recovery uses CRAFT to give you the tool set for your own ah-ha moments, but also to help create the conditions for your loved one to find their own moments and possibilities for long-term change.
