Professionals in many fields come into regular contact with alcoholics and may want more information about Alcoholics Anonymous. We would like to be of help to you!
General information about how A.A. can be of help to professionals can be found on the For Professionals page of AA.org. There you will find resources specifically designed for healthcare providers, legal professionals, educators, clergy, and others who work with alcoholics.
A.A. does not provide medical advice, diagnose alcoholism, or offer professional treatment. However, we can share information about how A.A. works and how it has helped millions of people recover from alcoholism.
Doctors, nurses, counselors, and mental health professionals often encounter patients who may benefit from A.A.
Judges, attorneys, probation officers, and law enforcement professionals work with individuals who may need help with alcoholism.
For information specifically about how A.A. can be of help to professionals in southern Minnesota, please contact our Cooperation with the Professional Community (CPC) Committee Chair or any of the relevant Area 36 Committee Chairs and Officers.

A.A. members are available to share information about the A.A. program, provide literature, speak to groups, and answer questions. We cannot provide professional advice, but we can share our experience.
