The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that a changed attitude can aid recovery.

Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions. 

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.

If you know how to play Canasta, a group meets on Tuesdays 1:00-3:00 PM. The New Paltz Canasta group uses the official rules as defined by Modern American Canasta.

 

This is a card game not unlike what you may have played in the past but perhaps more complicated and challenging. Many who play Canasta also play Mah Jongg as the degree of difficulty is about the same. Folks are welcome to observe these Tuesday sessions, however lessons cannot be given during or in between games. The Lifetime Learning Institute, affiliated with the New Paltz university offers a class to learn Canasta in the Spring. Those interested in learning more can refer to the book, "Modern American Canasta, The Complete Guide," by Collins and Miller-Small, or go online to ModernAmericanCanasta.com. There is also a Facebook group: ModernAmericanCanasta. 

Stop by Tuesdays and see what it's all about!

Chronic Pain Support Group is for anyone suffering from chronic pain or illness. The group will provide a safe and caring environment to express the challenges of living with constant pain or illness. The goals will be to connect and lesson the isolation often felt by those living with chronic pain and eventually explore coping skills and other ways of managing chronic illness and pain. 

The group will run monthly or potentially twice a month. Paul and Vanessa Moran will be the facilitators.
