Alateen: Hope for Young People Effected by Another's Problem Drinking

Alateen is part of Al-Anon and is an extraordinary supportive program for young people effected by the negative consequences of living with the problem drinking of a relative or a friend. The program offers communities, law enforcement agencies, families and schools an appropriate program to deal with a serious problem of contemporary society.

Alateen is adapted from the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous and encourages youth to work collaboratively to:
  • Share experiences, strength and hope with each other
  • Discuss their difficulties
  • Learn effective ways to cope with their problems
  • Encourage one another
  • Help one another understand the principle of the Al-Anon program
  • Learn how to use the Twelve Steps and Alateen's Twelve Traditions
