Do you see alcohol problems in your work? Join a free half-day session, sit in on an example AA meeting and leave knowing how to refer.

Do You Know the Real Face of Alcoholism? It’s not what most people think.

It is a colleague, a patient, a parent at the school gate. Alcohol dependence hides in plain sight, and in your work you are often the first to notice. Most people struggling with alcohol go unnoticed, often until it’s too late.

Do You See Alcohol Problems in Your Work? Find Out How You Can Help

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is hosting a series of free regional events for professionals like you. They cover the impact of alcohol misuse and the free, life-changing support available through AA, Al-Anon Family Groups and young people in AA.

Recommended by NICE

NICE names AA in its quality standard for alcohol care (QS11). It says adults seeking help with their drinking should be told about groups like AA and supported to get there. Could you explain what happens in a meeting?

Proven Effectiveness

A Cochrane review (2020, 27 studies) found AA-based approaches were more effective than treatments such as CBT for staying abstinent.

The UK clinical guidelines (2025) say outcomes are better when practitioners actively help people into mutual aid.
