Engaging with Al‑Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. (AFG, Inc.) on LinkedIn is another way to carry the message of help and hope. Following AFG, Inc. and liking or sharing posts raises visibility and awareness of Al‑Anon and Alateen among the professional community.
This public outreach service helps spread the word about the benefits of our program, encouraging healthcare providers, social workers, alcoholism/addiction specialists, psychologists, teachers, human resources professionals, and legal professionals to utilize Al‑Anon and Alateen resources in their work.
