Join the the ATTC Network for an informational session introducing the Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach — a compassionate, evidence-informed framework that helps families support loved ones impacted by substance use. Discover how your organization or community group can get involved through the ATTC’s upcoming ITC Facilitator Training, which equips participants to lead family support group in their community.

While the approach originated in the context of helping loved ones with substance use issues, the framework is broadly applicable for group settings, family settings, and individual work. It can be adapted by peer-support organizations, treatment providers, non-profits, faith communities, schools, and other support networks. Join us to learn more about the ITC approach and the 2026 ITC training. We’re offering two options for the informational sessions (see below). Both sessions will cover the same material, so you only need to attend one.
