AL-ANON/ALATEEN Family Groups

AL-ANON/ALATEEN Family Groups offer strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers. In Al-Anon and Alateen, members share their own experience, strength and hope with each other. You will meet others who share your feelings and frustrations, if not your exact situation. Members come together to learn a better way of life, to find happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are currently no Alateen group meetings in Haldimand & Norfolk. However, there are several Al-Anon groups that meet regularly in both counties. You can contact the meeting information line at 1-888-425-2666 or contact CAMHS for a meeting in your area.
