The Family Empowerment Project is based upon the CRAFT method pioneered by Dr. Robert J. Meyers at the University of New Mexico. This work helps families address addiction while creating a collaborative, culturally relevant circle of care around the individual seeking recovery. It is rooted in behavioral change principles and honest, positive communication between family members.

Brian Serna was trained and mentored by Dr. Meyers and has been helping families address addiction for over twenty years. He and his staff have helped hundreds of New Mexican families in ways that are practical, powerful, and culturally relevant.
