Alateen Meetings
Alateen (Al-Anon for younger members, aged 13 to 19) is a vital part of Al-Anon Family Groups. Young people seeking help with problems that arise when alcoholism afflicts a parent, another close relative, or a friend meet to exchange experiences and to gain an understanding of themselves and the alcoholic. This helps their own personal development and can help stabilize trouble thinking resulting fro close association of the alcoholic. By attending Alateen, teenagers meet other teenagers with similar situations. Alateen is not a religious program and there are no fees or dues to belong to it. Alateen is a place where members come together to:
