In order to help motivate your loved one to change, you must first understand why they use substances in the first place. There are all kinds of reasons to try a substance but continued problematic use usually means the substance is being used as a coping mechanism to deal with physical and/or emotional pain like anxiety and depression. Having empathy for your loved one will help motivate you to stay connected and change their environment to support long term recovery.

You can affect your loved one’s motivation to change - visit farcanada.org to learn more.

“I am extremely grateful for the amazing support, compassion and encouragement received from the P2P (Peer-to-Peer) program. The knowledge and resources shared helped me to better understand what my son has been experiencing and to feel less guilt regarding his situation. To regain moments of my happy self when I did not think that was possible was a gift. The understanding and compassion from a peer who has lived my experiences provided a sense of encouragement and commitment to move forward in supporting and loving my son, and myself. Thank you is not enough to express my immense gratitude.”

"I would love to see this organization grow and be promoted by medical professionals. Given the growing need to support those with addiction and the deadly street drugs available, this supportive organization may be the best antidote.”

This Giving Tuesday, December 2, your donation can help more families to cope and provide effective support to their loved-ones. Help us advocate, educate, and bring hope to families affected by addiction.
�Every donation makes a difference. Donate today at farcanada.org!
