ALATEEN in Florida North - Area 9

Information regarding Alateen

Alateen is a part of Al-Anon.
Alateen is a specially designed part of our recovery program for young people who have been affected by someone else's drinking.  We come together to share experience, strength, and hope in order to make progress in solving our common problems.​

​Area Safety and Behavioral Requirements

WSO Alateen Service eManual.  

​

Service on behalf Alateen

  • Al-Anon Members who would like to provide direct service to Alateens must complete the Area Certification process.  This simple process helps keep everyone safe, and provides a culture of trust for young people, their parents and Al-Anon members.
  • In addition to direct service Al-Anon members may do many things to support the young people in Al-Anon.  Be sure to contact your District Alateen Chair to find out what is needed to help support this vital link of service.

​
Please make a note that ALL currently certified AMIAS as well as any member wanting to become certified as an AMIAS, must attend one of these FRESH trainings or one scheduled by your District Alateen Chair in order to comply with the Area Certification Process.

 


Compliance with our Area Certification Process includes:  Attendance at a FRESH event and submission of the current AMIAS Certification Form to the AAPP.  If you are a Group Sponsor for an Area Alateen Meeting you must also provide a current Group Sponsor Information Form.  All of these documents may be found on our Area website:  
www.AFGArea9.org

Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS) are the backbone of our Alateen program in the Area. These Al-Anon members agree to participate in training, background checks, and frequent contact with Area trusted servants so that information is current and up to date at all times.  Many AMIAS provide the necessary support to have Alateen meetings by being Alateen Group Sponsors, Alateen Group CMAs, Alateen Group Financial support (keeping the money), and attending meetings to keep the spaces safe for everyone.
​In addition, members who would like to chaperone, drive or provide other support services at events with Alateens agree to go through this certification process.
​
