We believe alcoholism is a family disease that affects everyone in the family. By attending online or in-person meetings, young people gain an understanding of the illness and feel the benefits of realising they are not alone. They learn that they did not cause this problem and that they are not responsible for their relative’s or friend’s drinking or behaviour. Young people share their experiences of having, or having had, a problem drinker in their lives. They help and support each other.
To attend an online meeting you will need access to the Zoom app and be in a quiet place with a good internet signal. Only young people 12-17 years inclusive can be present in the Group so please use earphones if there is anyone nearby that might overhear the meeting. Please join with camera and microphone on so that the Group can see and hear you.
Meetings are also available in person at various places in the UK. Please check the website for more information.

To attend an Alateen meeting, an Alateen Consent Form must be completed and signed by the young person and a parent/legal guardian. The parent/legal guardian accompanies the young person to their first meeting to give permission to attend. The permission is only needed to be given once before the meeting starts, the parent/legal guardian does not stay at the meeting. If attending an in-person Group, the completed form is given to the adult Screened Group Sponsor. If attending an online Group, the form is sent to the General Service Office, 57b Great Suffolk Street, London SE1 0BB.
Please visit the Alateen page on the Al-Anon website to download the the consent form.
