Families Anonymous (FA) meetings

We don’t have Families Anonymous (FA) meetings on Fellow just yet — we’re still growing our coverage, and more is on the way. In the meantime, here are a few related ways to find support and connection.

Common questions about FA

Are FA meetings free and anonymous?
Yes. FA meetings are free to attend — no dues, fees, referral, or insurance needed — and anonymity is a core principle, so you can come as you are. Anyone who wants help is welcome.
Can I attend FA meetings online?
Many FA groups meet online as well as in person. The official FA finder lists current online meetings.
Is there support for parents of an adult struggling with addiction?
Yes — Families Anonymous is for relatives and friends affected by a loved one's drug, alcohol, or related behavioral problems, whether or not that person is in recovery.
How is Families Anonymous different from Nar-Anon and Al-Anon?
All three support people affected by someone else — Al-Anon centers on drinking, Nar-Anon on drug addiction, and Families Anonymous on drug, alcohol, or related behavioral issues. Pick the one closest to your situation.
Do I have to be religious to join FA?
No. FA welcomes people of any religion or none. The program is usually described as spiritual rather than religious, and many areas offer secular, agnostic, or non-religious meetings.
