Nar-Anon

"The Nar-Anon Family Groups is primarily for those who know or have known a feeling of desperation concerning the addiction problem of someone very near to you. We have traveled that unhappy road too, and found the answer with serenity and peace of mind."

"When you come into the family group, you are no longer alone, but among true friends who understand your problem as few others could. We respect your confidence and anonymity as we know you will respect ours. We hope to give you the assurance that no situation is too difficult and no unhappiness is too great to be overcome."

Financial Strategies for the Loved Ones of Problem Gamblers

“According to the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), an estimated 2 million people in America are considered addictive or pathological gamblers. Unfortunately, this addiction can take a negative emotional and financial toll on friends and family.

To help the families of problem gamblers, we put together a free resource that discusses how they can protect their finances and credit from the damages of a gambling loved one. We also help families understand the financial warning signs of gambling addiction.”

Adult Children of Alcoholics

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)/Dysfunctional Families is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of people who grew up in dysfunctional homes.

We meet to share our experience of growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect and trauma infected us. This affects us today and influences how we deal with all aspects of our lives.

ACA provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allows us to grieve our childhoods and conduct an honest inventory of ourselves and our family—so we may (i) identify and heal core trauma, (ii) experience freedom from shame and abandonment, and (iii) become our own loving parents.
