The Family Recovery Foundation’s free virtual family therapy model is simple: no session fees, live online groups and coaching, and a clear path from registration to your first meeting—built for families impacted by addiction and mental health.
Free virtual family therapy and live online support groups through The Family Recovery Foundation do not charge a per-session fee. You do not need insurance to join free programs. Optional donations support the mission but are never required to participate.
Choose a program, submit the free registration form, and receive confirmation with the virtual meeting link and any preparation notes. Sessions run live on video/online platforms—join from anywhere in the United States with a stable internet connection.
Our free virtual family therapy is designed for spouses, parents, adult children, siblings, and close supports impacted by a loved one’s addiction and/or mental health challenges. You can participate even if your loved one is not ready for treatment.
TFRF free programs are ongoing family support and education—not a crisis hotline, detox, residential treatment, or emergency medical service. For immediate danger call 911. For mental health or substance crisis support call or text 988.
In crisis? Call or text 988 or emergency services. For free ongoing virtual family therapy, register on this page or call 888-964-8825.
Free virtual family therapy sessions are led by The Family Recovery Foundation’s facilitators and peer advocates who understand addiction’s impact on the whole family. Leadership includes Executive Director Beth Durling, MS, CADCII, ICADC, and founder Paul Alexander. Groups combine structured skill-building (communication, boundaries, detachment) with compassionate peer connection—online, live, and free.
We do not claim to replace every form of licensed clinical care in every state. When higher levels of care are needed for the person using substances, we also offer financial aid pathways and point families to national treatment directories—while keeping free family support available to you.
