"This was my intro to CRAFT, which I will definitely be using in my practice. The course was well organized and implementation of videos, readings, and break out sessions for practice was extremely helpful!" - Fall 2022 participant

“Lara is a skilled facilitator and taught the CRAFT program clearly and concisely while still giving space for curiosity and dialogue amongst the group. She handled questions in a manner that challenged me to look at the issues more deeply and broaden my lens… while also challenging (in a good way) some old beliefs of mine on addiction that were limiting.” - Fall 2021 participant

“Every question I asked in class and outside was answered thoroughly and with simple examples from the model in real life settings.” -Spring 2022 participant
