Embrace, a Changing CARE initiative funded by The Change Foundation, focuses on improving the interaction of caregivers with the health care providers who treat and counsel their family and friends throughout their addiction recovery and/or mental health journey. Improving these interactions requires a cultural change in how caregivers of those with addiction and mental health problems are recognized, supported, communicated with and listened to. Over the course of the project, health care providers, family caregivers, administrators and clients will work through several project streams to address Changing CARE’s four interconnected themes: communication, assessment, recognition, and education
