What is a Narateen group?
Narateen groups, which are part of the Nar-Anon fellowship, are formed to provide support to teenage family members and friends of addicts. A Narateen group is a safe environment where teenagers can share and work on their recovery. Meetings are closed except by group conscious and limited to teenagers who are coping with the addiction problem of a family member or friend.
Through group meetings, young people learn effective ways of coping from listening to the shares of each other, while gaining some peace of mind and hope for a better way to live. Members help one another by sharing their experiences, strength, and hope.
Facilitators guide and share knowledge of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions by keeping meetings and groups focused and on topic.
