Al‑Anon and Alateen are mutual support programs for people affected by someone else’s drinking. They can be powerful complements to professional therapy and counseling.

Family members, friends, partners, co-workers, and others struggling with the family disease of alcoholism find a welcoming community where they experience understanding and support.

Alateen is designed specifically for teenagers and includes peer-led meetings supported by trained adult sponsors.

Al‑Anon and Alateen groups are:

• Peer-led and non-professional
• Spiritual, but not religious
• Anonymous and inclusive
• Apolitical and self-supporting
• Available in communities throughout the state
• In person, online, and phone meetings
  

In a survey of over 15,000 members in 2024, members reported that Al-Anon paired with outside treatment led to greater improvement in their mental health. The survey results were reviewed by a 3rd party research firm. The report is available here.
