BALM 7 Cs

Encore Presentation

Families impacted by substance abuse often develop unhealthy, dysfunctional systems in order to cope. However, family members can assume healthy roles and behaviors to encourage and support their loved one’s recovery. The Be a Loving Mirror Family Recovery Program or BALM has developed a simple foundation, called the 7 Cs, to help families understand their role. We spoke with BALM Family Recovery Life Coach Stacey Karchner to learn more.
