You can help
Because of your special relationship with clients, employees, or members
of your organization, you are in a unique position to help. You may see
the effects of alcoholism in deteriorating attitudes, relationships, attendance,
and performance.
Whether you are aware of a problem or not, educational and informative
programs may touch someone who is hurting or may give those suffering the
courage to face the problem.
The Edmonton Al-Anon Information Service (AIS), as part of the worldwide
fellowship, cooperates with professionals and organizations in the Greater
Edmonton area. Assistance is provided entirely by members who volunteer
their experience, strength, and hope.
