What is Alateen?

Alateen is a place where members come together to:

• share experiences, strength, and hope with each other to find effective ways to cope with problems.

• discuss difficulties and encourage one another

• help each other understand the principles of the Al-Anon program through the use of the Twelve Steps and Alateen’s Twelve Traditions

Alateen is not a place:

• For teens seeking help for drinking or drug problems or a therapy program

• To complain about parents or anyone else.

• A social hangout.
