NEW WORKING GROUP SERVICE OPP

Following a membership Survey in Feb-Mar, we have formed an outreach working group (WG). The WG purpose is to reach local health professionals with information about AA, always seeking to establish the principle of attraction rather than promotion.

This is a great opportunity to do service. There are no minimum lengths of sobriety required to join.

WHAT WILL THIS WORKING GROUP DO?

In broad terms, we will drive an information campaign in the Zurich area to create awareness among local HCP that English-speaking AA offers an ideal support community for their alcoholic patients and clients.

It may  involve speaking at treatment facilities and schools, or contacting doctors and representatives at medical facilities to help them understand what AA is (and is not), how AA works and what we can (and cannot) offer. These are just a few examples of the types of service that we may get involved in. This “Intro to AA” slide deck is representative of our outreach message.
