Alateen is part of Al-Anon Family Groups. Alateen was founded in 1957.  Alateen is a fellowship of young Al-Anon members, usually teenagers, whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members who help the group to stay on track. Alateens come together to:

• Share experiences, strength, and hope with each other.
• Discuss difficulties.
• Learn effective ways to cope with problems.
• Encourage one another.
• Help each other understand the principles of the Al-Anon program, including the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions.
