Frequently asked questions from loved ones

My loved one doesn't want help. Does calling make sense then?

Yes. With professional intervention via the ARISE or Johnson method, we help families to facilitate respectful movement in a stuck situation. And even without intervention, you as a loved one can receive guidance yourself.

Can I have an anonymous consultation first?

Of course. You don't need to mention a name to present your situation. We'll give you some free advice on what's sensible.

How much does it cost?

The costs depend on the route. In the initial free, no-obligation consultation, you'll find out exactly what to expect, with no surprises later on.
