Knowledge, Awareness, Transition, Action (K.A.T.A.)
Knowledge, Awareness, Transition, Action (K.A.T.A.)
This stands for Knowledge, Awareness, Transition, Action. The family will need Knowledge about exactly what the problem or issue is so they can face it in their everyday lives. Then an Awareness of how this problem impacts their family. A Transition of the problem into a solution will be required to move forward. This will end with the family taking Action by connecting with a local resource professional, service or program. K.A.T.A. is the structure concept of the entire Family Solution Finder Learning Centers.
The learning center takes the family member through K.A.T.A. :
1. The Study guide provides knowledge about the issue. Module I.
2. The Seminar Workbook provides awareness of how the issue impacts the lives of the family. Module II.
3. The 3-D’s Coping Skills Workbook provides tools to transition the problem into a solution. Module III.
4. The Local Resource Connections Workbook is action. Module IV

Strategy:
We propose approaching the drug epidemic from a different angle. A more community wholistic approach where the Family Members is our focus. Gone are the days of static presentations, we all tried it and it did not work. In its place will be a vibrant interactive learning process of combined coping skills and knowledge, connected with local resources and getting organized.
Structure:
The Family Solution Finder Learning Centers fills the needs of the family members by providing 32 key issue they are likely to face in their journey with this disease. This is provided through a local county level Family Solution Finder Learning Centers.
This is not a support group, it is a center where family members come to learn the issues and create solutions for their family. This is a skills building center which can have a positive, generational impact on our families.
This is different from providing a seminar and then moving to the next topic. Our structure is designed to provide a Procedural Learning Process of four learning modules (I-IV) that take the family member through 1.learning the issue, 2. applying this knowledge to their real life situation, 3. determining a solution, developing a decision and designing a plan of action. In the fourth learning module they connect the above work for this issue to a local provider for assistance in moving forward.
THEY BECOME A SOLUTION FINDER FAMILY
From this we will have our community families empowered with solution finder coping skills and a stronger base of knowledge about each issue.
The focus is on the family and their ability to create their solutions. This is our single purpose at a Family Solution Finder Learning Centers.
There are no programs like this in the nation, and you can have one in your county as early as next month.
What if... in a family's journey with substance use disorder faced issues that are known by the family members in advance. So, before it hit them, they know about it, determined a solution, developed a decision, and designed a plan of action in how they will respond.
Again
What if... they already determined a solution, already developed a decision, and designed a plan of action in place and had identified the right level of care from their local network of community programs and organizations to call for assistance.
It's here.... We offer a Study Guide and Workbook with video's, power point presentations, meeting agenda and handouts, practical exercises and clinical papers on each of the 32 learning seminars that cover the families entire journey. All these issues a family will likely face will be their knowledge in how to respond before it happens in their journey?
