One of the most popular questions we get here at NAMI OC is "How do I get my loved one who resists treatment into treatment?" Dr. Brian Licuanan wrote a book on that exact topic and we have him on the pod today. Dr. Licuanan is not only an author, speaker, and board-certified psychologist practicing in Southern California, he is also a NAMI OC support group leader. Take a listen as we go over his book and the step by step plan that can help your resistant loved one get into treatment.
