ITC Workshop for Parents

Join Railroad Street Youth Project and CMC:Foundation for Change for this 4-hour workshop for parents. Learn a new way to think about substance use, prevention, and how to support someone who is struggling with substances. 

Please note this event is IN PERSON at the Berkshire South Regional Community Center.

The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) is a research-backed set of tools for helping someone who struggles with substance use or other compulsive behaviors.

Based in science and kindness, the ITC is a set of down to earth, compassionate tools for helping your child while staying connected to and grounded in your own values.

• Untangle substance use
• Improve communication
• Build trust
• Maintain healthy boundaries
• Restore connection

Please note, this program does not qualify for CE Credit.

The Invitation to Change Approach is grounded in compassion, connection, and the understanding that families can have a powerful helping impact on those struggling to change. The ITC Approach draws on evidence-based practices also found in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and the Community Reinforcement and Family Training approach (CRAFT), as well as decades of clinical experience working with families and loved ones.

While this workshop is primarily aimed at parents, anyone who has a loved one struggling with substance use is welcome to join.
