Anyone interested in learning more about Al‑Anon or Alateen can now find us on Facebook and Twitter.

Our primary aim is to use social networking to introduce our program to the public and call attention to the various services offered by the Al‑Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc.

 

Our Facebook page and Twitter account also provide updates of interest to our members.

We are including audio/visual clips as well as text on our Facebook landing page and on Twitter to help visitors, particularly potential newcomers, to identify the effect someone else’s drinking has had or is having on their lives.
