Learn about addiction
Need help with a loved one's addiction – or your own? We've compiled information about the disease, including signs and symptoms, common myths and first steps to take.
As peer coaches, we remember how it feels to wonder if we needed help for ourselves or a loved one. We’re not here to judge or even diagnose someone's use. We use our lived experiences to help others find wellness, whatever that means to them.
Confidential, evidence-based support
We provide personalized, nonjudgmental peer coaching for those impacted by addiction, including loved ones. We don’t require sobriety or follow a one-size-fits-all program. Loved ones can engage with us even if their person at risk isn’t seeking help.
Coaching is provided in person, over the phone and via secure video.
