Resources for Professionals

Al-Anon is a mutual support group of peers who share their experience in applying the Al-Anon principles to problems related to the effects of a problem drinker in their lives. It is not group therapy and is not led by a counselor or therapist; This support network complements and supports professional treatment.

Alateen is a peer support group for teens who are struggling with the effects of someone else’s problem drinking. Many Alateen groups meet at the same time and location as an Al-Anon group. Alateen meetings are open only to teenagers. Alateen is not a program for young people seeking sobriety.


No advance notification or written referral is necessary to attend an Al-Anon or Alateen meeting. Anyone affected by someone else’s drinking is welcome to attend.

There are no dues or fees. Groups are self-supporting, and usually pass a basket around for a voluntary contribution to pay for rent or Al-Anon literature.
​


Data indicates the effectiveness of the program. The 2021 Al-Anon membership survey is an excellent source of data regarding our program. For example, survey results indicated that 28% of members first came to Al-Anon because of a drug problem in a relative or friend.

Al-Anon in King County

Over 100 meetings a week in King County provide comfort to those suffering from the effects of alcoholism in a friend or family member. Alateen meetings are for teens dealing with the effects of alcoholism. There are also meetings for parents, women, men, LGBTQ,+ and Spanish speaking members. No two meetings are alike, so newcomers are encouraged to try different meetings to find the one that is just right for them. 

We offer these services to King County professionals:
​
​​
Informational sessions in detox, rehab centers, and hospitals provide both the alcoholic/addict and their loved ones hope and help as they seek to recovery.

​Informational sessions to introduce mental health professionals to the Al-Anon and Alateen programs in the Greater Seattle area and answer any questions you might have about the program.

Free Al-Anon information for inclusion in discharge packets, in information packets for friends and family members, and as takeaways for your clients/patients.
