Hi, I'm Kate,

Family Recovery Expert who's helped hundreds of families support their loved ones to a healthier future.

In my over a decade of working with families to improve outcomes for their loved ones, one question always comes up:

"How do I respond when my loved one says this?"

That's exactly why I created this guide.

It's common that families desperately want to stay connected to their loved ones, but almost every conversation seems to push them further apart.

As someone in recovery, I've been on both sides of the conversation.

Since starting this work, I've led hundreds of interventions, created a family recovery framework that's drastically improved results, authored Dear Family: Why Your Loved One Won't Accept Help and How To Help Them Anyway, and helped hundreds of families break cycles that felt impossible to break.

What families are saying...

"Having some planned statements ready gives me so much more confidence that I can communicate honestly and effectively in tough moments. Thank you!!"
