"Our philosophy is that an intervention is the best thing you can do for the person you care about that needs your help."

James Dunn LLB, MACAM and Janice Dunn, RPN

James and Janice are highly skilled intervention specialists with years of experience in the addictions field, having done hundreds of successful interventions with people from all walks of life.

James' experience as a lawyer and mediator provide him with the necessary skills to take charge of difficult clients dealing with addiction problems. In addition to his legal degree, James has a Masters of Arts in Conflict Analysis and Management. He is the Associate Dircector of the Lawyers Assistance Program of British Columbia, and has extensive experience working with professionals such as lawyers, judges and doctors with addiction or emotional problems.

Janice's expertise as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse includes mental health and addictions, eating disorders, psycho geriatrics and sexual abuse and family violence.

Together, James and Janice have the expertise to handle many self destructive behaviours including:

• drug and/or alcohol problems
• disordered eating including bulimia, anorexia and compulsive overeating
• computer addiction
• sex addiction
• issues facing seniors
• mental health challenges

Their approach is to provide professional guidance and support throughout every aspect of the intervention, letting their clients know that they are being served by competent and caring professionals.

Recognizing that each intervention is a unique experience for that family or business, they believe that what may work for one family or business may not work for another. Nothing is taken for granted and Janice and James ensure that everything is done to make the intervention a success.

With offices in Nanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria, they will travel anywhere in North America or internationally to facilitate an intervention.

Janice and James live in Nanaimo, British Columbia, with their three young boys. They have a blended family and have grown through many challenges to enjoy a balanced life and a happy, fulfilling marriage.
