Getting help for those who are struggling with mental health and/or substance addiction can be a challenging endeavor, and it becomes more daunting when they refuse any assistance. In this guide, I teach you the essential knowledge and blueprint to strategically leverage your loved one into a position to accept help, giving them a second chance at life.

Licuanan offers a comprehensive guide to providing help to people who don’t necessarily welcome it. In his nonfiction debut, the author, a psychologist and educator, discusses the vital importance of what he calls an “impact person” in substance abuse recovery—the term refers to involved individuals “with the ability to help, assist, or change someone’s life for the better.”… People in these helping coalitions will find Licuanan’s combination of optimism and pragmatism invaluable; this book is full of very useful wisdom. A clear and essential guide to helping loved ones when they hit rock bottom.” —Kirkus Reviews, *starred review*
