The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness, and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.
Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

Alateen
Alateen, Al-Anon groups for younger members, is a vital part of the Al-Anon Family Group's program. Young people seeking help with problems that arise when alcoholism afflicts a parent or other close relative or friend meet to exchange experiences and to gain an understanding of the alcoholic. This helps them keep their own lives and personal development from being affected too deeply by close association with an alcoholic.
