Types of AA Meetings

Child-Friendly: Child-friendly AA meetings allow each member to bring up to one child to the meeting, with the expectation that the discussion will not feature experiences or language that are inappropriate for the child. Formal childcare may not be available, but the member can watch over her child while participating in the discussion.

Open: In North Daokta, open AA meetings are available to any member of the community, including both alcoholics and nonalcoholics. As members share their experiences, observers can learn more about the AA recovery model and how the program works.

Wheelchair Access: North Dakota AA centers provide non-ambulatory clients with wheelchair access. These features generally consist of exterior ramps, designated parking spots, and open layouts for full participation.

Women: North Dakota women’s AA meetings are peer group meetings for women who are impacted by alcohol addiction. Welcoming all women in the community, including women who are addicted to alcohol and those who have loved ones with alcoholism, these meetings are free to attend and offer community support with the structure of a self-guided 12-step recovery program.
