How can a widely dispersed family contribute to an Intervention?

During the initial stages of planning the Intervention, family members can use the post, phone and e-mail to communicate with each other and with the Interventionist.

Sometimes they can only come together for a day at most and preparation work by phone, fax or e-mail is the only option. Other times they can come together for a long weekend (3-4 days) and can take advantage of all the benefits of face to face communication.

Sometimes a family member can not participate fully due to schedule commitments, cost of travel or for other reasons. These situations can be accommodated also. People who cannot be present sometimes write letters that can be used quite effectively.
