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.

Closed: In Minnesota, closed AA meetings are restricted to members and people who recognize they have a drinking problem and want to stop. Newcomers can ask questions to more experienced members, gaining insight and advice as they begin their recovery journey.

Wheelchair Access: AA meetings in Minnesota may feature amenities for non-ambulatory clients. Wheelchair access can include ramps, designated parking spaces, and full maneuverability within the center.

Women: Minnesota AA meetings for women are peer support meetings for women who are affected by alcohol addiction, including women with alcoholism and those who have loved ones who are addicted to alcohol. These meetings use a 12-step recovery program and are free for women of all ages to attend.
