About Al-Anon Family Groups

Al-Anon Family Groups provides a safe, supportive environment for individuals whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. Whether the person struggling with alcohol is a spouse, parent, child, or friend, Al-Anon offers a space where family members and friends can find help, understanding, and connection. For over 70 years, Al-Anon has been assisting individuals to regain control over their lives and heal from the emotional pain caused by another person’s alcoholism.

Our meetings provide a sense of community for those dealing with the challenges that come with loving someone who suffers from alcohol addiction. We operate under the belief that no one should go through this struggle alone. By sharing our experiences and supporting each other, we help each other rebuild lives affected by alcoholism.

Our Services

Support Meetings

Al-Anon’s primary service is offering free, confidential support meetings for family members and friends of alcoholics. At these meetings, individuals can connect with others who share similar struggles. We provide a platform where you can talk openly about your feelings, share your challenges, and receive empathy from others who understand. These meetings are offered in person and online for your convenience.

Family Counselling

In addition to group meetings, Al-Anon offers family counselling services to assist individuals in understanding the dynamics of alcoholism in the family. This service is designed to provide guidance and strategies to cope with the emotional and behavioural effects of living with an alcoholic.

Educational Resources

Al-Anon also provides access to a range of educational materials, including books, pamphlets, and online resources. These resources help individuals learn about alcoholism, its impact on family relationships, and how Al-Anon’s 12-step programme can offer healing. We focus on promoting personal growth, well-being, and the development of healthier family dynamics.

A Welcoming Environment

Our support groups are welcoming and inclusive, offering a non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself. Many people find that simply listening to others who have had similar experiences is both comforting and enlightening. You will discover that you are not alone in your struggles, and support is always available.
