You as a professional and your organization 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 Knoxville Area Districts Al-Anon (KADA), as part of the worldwide fellowship, cooperates with professionals and organizations in the Knoxville, Tennessee area. Assistance is provided entirely by members who volunteer their experience, strength, and hope.
