This book has been on Alli’s heart for years. She originated the concept, guided the clinical content, and spearheaded the integration of all research. She invited Jenny, a recovery coach, to co-author, adding practical skills and lived experience perspectives from both recovery and live-in coaching.

Through her longstanding caregiver support group, Alli learned what parents need to become more confident, effective allies in treatment. This book is designed to help families move from fear, confusion, and self-blame to more grounded, effective support.
