"For those of you who are just exploring the possibility of an intervention, as my family was just two weeks ago, I want to urge you to not hesitate another moment - not where intervention is concerned, or whether or not you found the right 'guy'. Kevin just walked my family through the most painful, extraordinary and (conversely) blessed event of our lives with a grace and knowledge we had not expected. He took a roomful of frightened, stressed-out, exhausted people and brought us all back to our centers - helping us find the words to express to our loved one that guided him into treatment. We all knew, going into the intervention, that we could not guarantee the outcome, but Kevin reminded us in our first conversation, of this important truth: that we, as a family, needed to do everything we could do before letting go - and the intervention was the last thing we could do. We are very blessed to have had a 'yes' come out of our efforts. We were doubly blessed to have had Kevin to help us get to that 'yes'. He is kind, compassionate, gentle, firm-when-he-needs-to-be, and a man of wisdom and great faith. You and your loved ones are in good hands."
There are not enough ‘thanks’ in this world to convey the gratitude this family carries within each one of us for your insight and direction you gave us. I think God has led you in the right direction because He certainly gave you a wonderful gift of counseling and discernment. We could not have put this altogether in an orderly, compassionate format as this. If we would have had the money, we would have doubled your fee and that’s the truth! God bless you Kevin.”
“There is no way to thank you enough for what you did for our son and for our family. It was like witnessing a miracle to see the intervention and the resulting ‘yes’ from him. You led us through the process with such understanding and skill. I learned so much from being a part of that experience…You were so kind and patient as you prepared us for a difficult but necessary task…God bless you for all you do to help get the healing process started and find hope again.”
“Wow! Crazy to think I never knew anything about the world of intervention as of 2 weeks ago, and today, I could not be more touched or thankful for you and your profession. Even more, Thank you for your kind heart and knowing how to listen just so to make our experience as a (messy) family so doable. Thank you for you and all the love you’ve given to our family that I know is technically outside of your job description."
“Today, my brother is on his way to a new life. Words are unable to express my gratitude to you. However, I will try. Kevin, you were able to bring hope to my family in a very dark time in our lives. We have been dealing with a verbally and physically abusive family member who is an addict. Everything we had tried had failed us. You were our last hope and you delivered. You provided direction and a tangible way forward, while managing high family emotion during our preparation meeting and the intervention itself. I especially appreciated the flexibility you displayed, a true test of professional aptitude amongst many other skills shown by yourself that day. It is my hope that if you are a person in our situation, suffering and unsure of how to proceed that you will contact Kevin and empower yourself with the hope of a successful life changing event. Lastly, it is apparent that this is not just a job to Kevin. It is his mission in life. He is a powerful man with a powerful story, and has changed our lives—substantially—for the better. I would recommend him with my highest conviction.”
“I want you to know how very much you have helped me and my family…You helped pull each one us together so we were on the same page (not an easy task)…You have a special gift and I am so thankful for how very much you have helped our family.”
“Again, I just want to say ‘Thank You’ for all your wonderful knowledge and guidance in helping our daughter and all of us during this crisis. And I am so glad that we did come to this breaking point as now we are off in the right direction…You are such a blessing!"
“This ‘Thank You’ is long overdue! THANK YOU so much for what you did for us. We are so grateful for God bringing you into our lives to help our son (and of course us). We will always be eternally grateful for what you did…starting the process of bringing back our son!! We are so enjoying him!”
“I felt compelled to write this thank you letter…You have answered God’s calling for your life. I believe that your life journey was a part of God’s plan to bring you to this place of helping people. You are gifted and you will always be highly recommended!”
“You will always be on my mind and in my heart on this day! Five years ago, my family (and friends) performed an intervention that saved the life of my beautiful daughter. Each year, I am filled with gratitude for your direction and presence at the intervention. I know that it would not have been possible without you. I believe that your work is extremely challenging, but I hope you know that the gifts you give through your expertise and effort are of the highest level.”
“My son’s intervention was a life-changing experience for him, as well as the rest of our family. Because of it—because of you—he agreed to seek the help he so desperately needed. Without you, I honestly don’t believe we would’ve been able to convince him of the need for treatment. Now, he’s a changed young man: healthy, self-aware, open to communication and much happier. I couldn’t be prouder of him or more thankful to you. Through the intervention process, you were professional and gentle—yet firm when necessary. I thank God for bringing you into our sphere.”
“Hope all is well with you. I wanted to thank you again for your help in guiding us through our son’s intervention. January was three years clean! He has kept the same job (including being ‘employee of the year’ last year) and most of his pre-addiction person is back: caring, funny and smart. I wanted to share this with you and thank you for giving us hope. Also for guiding us through the darkest time my family has experienced.”
“I was miserable, embarrassed, full of shame, desperate, broken and truly believed that my wife’s addiction to alcohol and drugs was my fault! Addiction was destroying my family, my marriage and devastating our children. I did not know how to fix the problem or what to do anymore. My brother gave me a phone number and suggested I contact Kevin Graves of ‘There is Hope Interventions’. I told Kevin my story and two days later we held the intervention. We thank God and Kevin for his support and guidance, which lead my wife to accept help at Serenity Lane. That one phone call started a process that has forever changed our lives! My wife and I now live a sober and clean life with our children, in a house full of love and hope, looking forward to each new day together.”
“Thank you for playing such an important role in making our gathering so successful! You are such a natural and engaging speaker and you connect very well with the audience.”
“Thank you so much for being of service and speaking today! I love how passionate you are about the work you do to help families heal.”
"Thank you so much for your guidance and words of hope during my trying circumstances with Bob. I really did feel like there was no hope until I contacted you."
"I spoke with you recently about a woman more dear to me than my life. I wanted to thank you for your time, your kindness and most importantly for the input that you offered me. I am sure the experiences with Janice that I shared with you were occurrences and issues that you've heard a thousand times over. I've been a cop for nearly 23 years. I know that something "routine" for me can be the sole focus in the life of the person I'm speaking with. I am not often on the other side of those kinds of conversations. Your professional empathy, concern and support were all good reminders for me of when I think of the "routine." I really just wanted to thank you - as a public servant, who recognized the best qualities of those two words when they saw them in someone else".
"Thanks for all of your help in getting this all together. Without you we would have never been able to do this. We are forever in your debt and you are doing a lot of good out there in your profession. Keep it up!"
"I want to thank you for helping my family. Whatever happens down the road, with your help, I know that our future is brighter. May God continue to give you compassion and insight to help other families."
"I want to thank you again for your help with our sister.....you were truly a Godsend...I mean that. She is doing really well 🙂 We loved that it was you who was able to help us get her recovery started...thank you again, from all of us."
"You have blessed my family & myself with your gift of caring and compassion. I truly believe God put you in our lives at this point in time to guide us so skillfully through this journey. Heartfelt thanks for always being available to comfort and console our fears & concerns leading up to the intervention. Your words and wisdom impacted even the participants I feared unteachable. These teachings have given Randy a chance to have more loving support from some of the most important people who have been 'missing' in his life."
"Thank you for your loving concern and help for Jim and our whole family. If you had not been there to help us, it never would have happened. I know this is just the 1st big step. We all have a lot of work to do. Many thanks."
"A heartfelt thank you for all your contributions to our ongoing 'Jared' project. The coaching and leadership you provide is invaluable."
