The World Service Office (WSO) is the international headquarters of Al-Anon and Alateen. The WSO publishes an informative monthly newsletter. An email is sent to all Al-Anon groups with the newest In the Loop newsletter. If you would like to receive the free In the Loop newsletter, click this link.
There are also various social media applications that include Al-Anon information and support. Per the Public Outreach section of the Al-Anon/Alateen Service manual, “While social networking and social media internet sites and blogs present special challenges to members and the WSO, social networking can be an important venue for carrying the message of Al-Anon as it fulfills its primary purpose of reaching millions who are not yet aware of the existence of our fellowship.”
Michigan Al-Anon Family Groups is the Al-Anon group at the state level. The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve their common problems.
