ABOUT NAR-ANON
What is a Nar-Anon Family Group?

The Nar-Anon Family Group is for those who know or have known a feeling of
desperation due to the addiction problem of someone close to them. Nar-Anon
members share their experiences, strength, and hope at weekly meetings. The
meetings are usually held at locations such as treatment centers, hospitals, churches,
community centers, or local twelve-step clubs.
