The Center for Motivation & Change (CMC) relies on science and kindness to help people change. Their dedicated clinicians and researchers employ respectful, flexible, evidence-based approaches to address substance use and compulsive behavior problems as well as other mental health issues, including trauma.

In addition to writing the books “Beyond Addiction”, “The 20 Minute Guide for Parents,” and “The 20 Minute Guide for Partners,” they are also the creators of the Invitation to Change Approach. Invitation to Change (ITC) is an approach for family members that combines CRAFT with Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

The Center for Motivation and Change has two websites. One website is for the CMC clinics which includes access to their fantastic digital resources such as their Beyond Addiction Show podcast, articles, and videos…

And their other website is for the CMC: Foundation for Change. CMC:FFC was created as a non-profit foundation to support CMC’s work and teaching efforts beyond their clinical treatment programs. You can find a number of excellent articles and meditations listed on the CMC:FFC resource page…
