There are more than 24,000 Al-Anon and over 2,300 Alateen groups in 115 countries. Our meetings are anonymous and confidential. There are no dues or fees for membership. Find out if Alateen or Al-Anon might be right for your client, patient or student.

Al-Anon is a separate fellowship from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Al-Anon is based on the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous.

Alateen groups are Al-Anon groups whose meetings are designed for the younger relatives and friends of alcoholics through age nineteen. Members conduct their own meetings with the guidance of adult sponsors who are Al-Anon members. Alateen follows the same Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions and principles as Al-Anon.

People are referred to Al-Anon/Alateen groups to learn the facts about alcoholism as an illness and how it has impacted their lives physically and emotionally. They benefit from contact with others who have similar problems and improve their own attitudes and behaviors through the study and practice of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Beginners’ meetings are a good place for them to start.

Al-Anon and Alateen members are helped when they attend meetings on a regular basis, make telephone contact with other members, read Al-Anon/Alateen literature, have a sponsor, apply the Twelve Steps of recovery to their lives and become involved in Al-Anon Service work.

Al-Anon/Alateen Groups Do Not:

• Give advice.
• Indulge in gossip or criticism.
• Discuss members religious beliefs, or lack of them.
• Endorse or oppose any cause, therapy, or treatment.

A complete schedule of Al-Anon, Alateen and Al-Anon Adult Children meetings in the Twin Cities area is available online. In addition there are online schedules of meetings in the entire southern and northern halves of Minnesota.

Al-Anon and Alateen Literature may be purchased at Minneapolis Al-Anon/Alateen Information Services or St. Paul Al-Anon/Alateen Intergroup.
