- I and a panel of 4 teens did an event for the Washtenaw Alliance of Children and Youth last month. They approached me for this idea; the theme of the workshop was: “supporting youth with substance using parents/guardians”. Olivia and I co-lead the event, talking a lot about Alateen, and the 4 teens shared their experience, strength and hope. We also answered questions from the audience (school counselors, people who work with kids/teens) and after they took some of the literature we brought. It went really well and was like a one hour commercial for Alateen! Was proud of the Alateens - this was our first event like this and they were great.
- I attended one day of March Roundup with 2 of my teens. We saw the Al-Anon speaker and the Alateen speaker. My teens then decided to stay over in the Alateen hospitality room so that meant that they also had to attend the AA open speaker meeting Saturday night. The following week I had one of the teens who attended share what she had learned from being there and she had lots to share! I let the teens know that I will try to attend as many conferences like this as I can and/or will let them know about them so they can attend even if I can’t.
- Our funds are okay for now - I will check back in about passing the red basket again as we get closer to KOMIAC (Alateen camp) in May.
