Al-Anon provides mutual support for those whose lives are affected by the drinking of others. Families and friends can make positive changes in their lives by sharing experiences and using the Al-Anon principles. Alateen is part of Al-Anon Family Groups and is a fellowship for young people (mostly teens) who have had their lives affected by another person's drinking, regardless of whether or not they drink. Alateen allows teenagers to meet others in similar circumstances. Alateen does not require you to pay any fees.
