LITERATURE

  

  • What is Conference Approved Literature (CAL)? CAL are books, pamphlets and service tools conceptually approved by the World Service Conference (WSC) and written by and for Al-Anon and Alateen members.  Once developed, this material undergoes a rigorous process of review established by the WSC to assure it is identifiably Al-Anon in content and feeling, and consistently reflects Al-Anon’s principles.  Members are always free to read other publication, but only Al-Anon/Alateen materials are used in Al-Anon/Alateen meetings.  This ensures that our program message stays consistent with our principles (Source:  Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual). 
  • There are currently over 30 books and booklets, and over 40 pamphlets available for Al-Anon and Alateen members.  Additionally, there are printed Al-Anon/Alateen service tools and supplementary materials for carrying the message of the program.  Free downloadable items can be obtained from the Al-Anon.org website that provide more information about how Al-Anon can help families and friends of alcoholics.

For Professionals
