About the company:
CMC:Foundation for Change is dedicated to providing evidence-based tools for change to everyone who cares about a person struggling with substance use. They use scientific evidence and translate it into a practical, compassionate, and accessible approach for helping called the Invitation to Change (ITC). Through training, support groups and community infrastructure building, they use the ITC to help family, friends, treatment providers, and community leaders have an impact on the terrible toll taken by substance use.

What is the ITC?
The Invitation to Change is a “science and kindness” approach, using evidence-based methods that have been shown—in studies with real families—to be effective at helping people change. ITC groups are an alternative to support groups like Al-Anon, which are helpful to many families, but are not evidence-based.
