A Tailored Approach to Interventions: Transforming Lives and Restoring Families
Interventions Canada takes pride in our comprehensive expertise and specialization in the fields of substance use disorder, complex trauma, and mental health disorders. Ms. Pike, CEO of Interventions Canada has many years of experience and has provided professional intervention and case management training to many seasonal interventions in Canada.
Our comprehensive wrap-around services offer support to individuals and their families at every step of the intervention process, with professional services tailored to each family’s unique needs. These services include customized interventions, crisis and case management, counseling, assessment and treatment placements, aftercare, recovery coaching, and regular monitoring for substance use.
An intervention is a caring, unbiased, and factual meeting conducted by a Certified Intervention Professional. It enables family and friends, with the help of an interventionist, to address the individual’s challenges in a secure and nurturing environment, pursue treatment, and provide a connection to essential support and resources, particularly when the individual is unable to seek help independently.
The aim of an effective intervention is to assist loved ones in acknowledging the gravity of their addiction or mental health issues, understanding its impact on themselves and others, and encouraging them on their journey to recovery. Witnessing and experiencing a loved one’s struggle with addiction or mental health can be an incredibly distressing experience. Interventions can pave the way for the beginning of healing for the whole family.

Recovery is not a Destination but a Continuous Journey.
In this intervention modality, the family plays a central role. It is a non-confrontational and non-judgmental process based on the premise that the family unit is the client, with each member playing a distinct role within your family.
The invitational approach in family interventions involves a structured plan where loved ones are asked to attend a family meeting, all under the guidance of an interventionist.
The invitational intervention is a structured family engagement meeting designed to promote open communication among family members. This intervention aims to evaluate the impact of a loved one's addictions or mental health on the family and to collect information about the untreated individual's addiction or mental health issues.
It is highly recommended that the untreated individual not be present at the first family engagement meeting. Determining who should attend the two-family meetings is crucial, as well as inviting the loved one to meet with the interventionist, with the objective of participating in the family meetings. All of this is orchestrated by the interventionist.
A structured framework and a supportive approach are crucial at every phase of an intervention to cultivate a proactive, safe, and reassuring environment. This model recommends a surprise intervention for those in need, led by a professional interventionist with the backing of family and friends. It is imperative that your loved one recognizes the intervention is driven by love, encouragement, support, and compassion from their close ones, aiming for their acceptance of treatment.
Organizing a surprise intervention begins with the formation of an intervention team. This model relies on the element of surprise and involves a meticulously planned, non-confrontational method, executed without the knowledge of the individual in question.
The aim of the surprise model is not to assign blame but to communicate heartfelt concerns while concentrating on the proof of substance abuse or mental health issues. An interventionist guides the surprise approach through every phase, encompassing preparation meetings, writing tasks, treatment strategy, logistics and scheduling, education about substance abuse and mental health disorders, and assisting families in establishing compassionate boundaries.
At Interventions Canada, we partner with a diverse range of professionals to support individuals with complex mental health issues. In some cases our team includes addiction physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, lawyers, recovery coaches, and mental health clinicians.
Mental health interventions can differ from traditional interventions and often begin with a crisis intervention. The process is initiated with a telephone intake call, which allows us to collect information about your loved one, develop a treatment plan, and decide on the most effective intervention approach. Taking action to assist your loved one with mental health conditions by seeking professional help is crucial.
