PI/CPC are volunteer members of AA who inform the public about Alcoholics Anonymous and recovery through many different forums. One of the ways we do this is through meeting with the public. Informed, sober members are willing to come to your staff meetings
(or to any group meetings you might like) to arrange, give a short informational presentation and to answer any questions about the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

These individuals share their experience, strength and hope and work directly with professionals such as doctors, nurses, social workers, law enforcement, court system workers, parole officers, mental health professionals, lawyers, teachers - in short, any group of professionals  who come in contact with alcoholics or people who have a problem or potential problem with alcohol. 

If having an information person(s) come speak to your group interests you please contact our webmaster and I will be glad to set up a date and time.  Our service is free.  If you are interested in getting active with public information or cooperating with professional community, email Delta group webmaster.  

If you would like a pamphlet mailed to you at no cost or obligation to you please email this site or you can order them in bulk directly at AA General Service Office for a fee.   

A Resource for the Helping Professional

AA as a Resource for the Health Care Professional

Alcoholics Anonymous is a nonprofit, self-supporting, entirely independent fellowship, "not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution." Yet A.A. is in a position to serve as a resource to you through its policy of "cooperation but not affiliation"
with the professional community. We can serve as a source of personal experience with Alcoholism as an ongoing support for recovering alcoholics.

Referrals From Courts and Treatment Facilities

Today numerous A.A. members come to us from court programs and treatment facilities. Some arrive voluntarily, others do not. A.A. does not discriminate against any prospective member. Who made the referral to A.A. is not what interests us it is the problem drinker
who elicits our concern.

Proof of attendance at meetings. Sometimes a court asks for proof attendance at A.A. meetings. Some groups, with the consent of the prospective member, have the A.A. group secretary sign or initial a slip that has been furnished by the court together with a self-addressed court envelope. The referred person supplies identification and mails the slip back to the court as proof of attendance. Other groups cooperate in different ways. There is no set procedure. The nature and extent of any group's involvement in this process entirely up to the individual group. Many of our members start out coming because they are ordered to come and now have decades of sobriety.

Singleness of Purpose and Problems Other Than Alcohol

Alcoholism and drug addiction are often referred to as "substance abuse" or "chemical dependency". Alcoholics and non-alcoholics are, therefore, sometimes introduced to A.A.and encouraged to attend A.A. meetings. Anyone may attend open A.A. meetings. But
only those with a drinking problem may attend closed meetings or become A.A. members. People with problems other than alcoholism are eligible for AA membership only if they have drinking problem.
