Why do I need help to help?
How can you REALLY help?
Right now you are struggling to get your addicted family member to stop using and to find a real solution to your situation. How can you actually help your son or daughter? Having an addiction is still a taboo subject, so you may keep it to yourself as a parent or partner.
You have as a parent fear. Fear that your addicted son or daughter will disconnect or even die if you stop helping. Or perhaps you cherish the illusion that the problem will disappear like snow in the sun as soon as your loved one stops using. But what if that moment seems far away? What happens then to you? As a mother, you face a inner conflict which is at odds with your maternal instincts. As a neighbor, you may tend to solve this yourself. You think you have to do it alone, but remember, You don't have to carry this on your own, that is almost impossible. You have to do it yourself but you don't have to do it alone!

Who is
Esther Ras
I know better than anyone how addiction can rage within your life. During my search for ways to cope, both in my relationship with my ex-partner and before and after my son's hospitalization, I discovered that there is hardly any support for the family of addicts. That had to change.
In my work as a Family Counselor, I work with several clinics, I am also called in directly by families. The same is true for businesses. I have extensive experience in counseling parents and loved ones before, during and after the treatment process of an addict.
Because I know better than anyone else what family members or friends go through, I know that the situation can be pretty complicated and painful. It is so important to include parents and partners in the process because the family members are just so important to the addict's recovery! It increases the likelihood of long-term recovery. So that way family members can really help their addicted family member! Code Red offers the help I was missing.
Mission
Counseling parents and partners worldwide who have a family member with addiction. Teaching them how to effectively support both their beloved addict and themselves. Giving advice on what to do and what not to do to stop using. So that parents and partners can return to life with more peace, happiness and joy.
Why
Working with Esther
I am an expert by experience. I have a son and an ex-partner who have addiction issues. In doing so, I have professionally trained within addiction medicine and family counseling.
I know better than anyone what it is like to have a partner or a child with addiction, with all the feelings that come with it. I understand you! I had the funeral speech already written. I was living in fear, broken and everything revolved around addiction. And I also know the way how to stay afloat in that situation stand.

Reviews
Colleagues & Other Connections
As a fellow family counselor, I got to know Esther. What is of great value is that, as a mother, she has experienced what many mothers unfortunately go through with an addicted child. Her experience, which she brings into her work, is therefore of great value. Esther knows how it is and feels to be a neighbor of an addict. Esther is therefore ideally suited to help others with this.
Esther is a valued colleague, inspirational force and example of a passionate and driven professional. As a fellow instructor in the Neighborhood Program Training, Esther knows how to effortlessly delve into complex subject matter. She is able to do this because she empathizes with the client's place. From there, as a professional, she works to provide support, new insights and space for Naasten's own recovery. Much can be learned in this profession, but sensing is a talent that Esther masters in the finer details. In her guidance there is little room for doubt and she dares to take and keep control, even if there is resistance. This characterizes effective coaching. Her level of knowledge surpasses many professionals in this field, but above all, Esther is a very nice person to have around.
I am so glad to have been taught by Esther. She is warm, open and very competent not only as an expert by experience, but also as a teacher. For loved ones of addicts, she offers the right support and help and has the professionalism you wish every mother, father, son, daughter or partner had.
