Join us for a 1-hour talk on the Invitation to Change Approach, a holistic helping framework based in science and kindness, designed for the families and loved ones of people struggling with substance use.
The ITC draws on evidence-based practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) to offer a full set of helping tools that are grounded in compassion, connection, and hope.
Dr. Nicole Kosanke is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Director of Family Services at CMC:NYC, where she specializes in the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders in individuals and families.
