We offer an effective, transparent, compassionate way to help your loved one.

At Northstar we believe in the dignity and power of offering an invitation to recovery instead of secretly planning a surprise confrontation. Although, with good intentions family and friends creating a trap to surprise someone they love about their mental illness or addiction inherently triggers shame and creates distrust. No one wants to be ambushed. The best way to build trust, which is absolutely necessary for a successful intervention is with a transparent, honest and compassionate approach. With open communication and mutual respect we can begin to heal families and inspire hope for our loved ones on their journey to recovery.

“Empathy is the antidote to shame.” - Brené Brown

Using an invitational-not confrontational—process, we are committed to helping families find a way forward with dignity, clarity, and hope.
