Alateen’s Purpose
Alateen is part of Al-Anon, which helps families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend. Alateen is a fellowship of young Al-Anon members, usually teenagers, ages 12 to 19, whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking.
The current Alateen meeting is held on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 pm to 8:30 pm at the Congregational Church of Soquel, 4951 Soquel Dr., Soquel.
Alakid is for children between the ages of 6 and 12. Alateen and Alakid groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members who meet the current NCWSA safety requirements and have successfully completed a background check. Currently, District 23 only has an Alateen meeting.
If you are a teen and would like us to add additional virtual Alateen meetings, please complete this survey to help us set one up.
Younger people come together to:
- share experiences, strength, and hope with each other
- discuss their difficulties
- learn effective ways to cope with their problems
- encourage one another
- help each other understand the principles of the Al-Anon program
- learn how to use the Twelve Steps and Alateen’s Twelve Traditions
