The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Adolescent Allies: Parenting Beyond Childhood
2026-11-10 16:30 - 18:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Community House, Memorial Avenue, Pomona, QLD, 4568, Australia
Some of the challenges that come with parenting tweens and teenagers can feel tough and overwhelming at times. Families may be navigating struggles with school attendance, body image, social media use (despite the ban!), alcohol or other drug use, or changes in behaviour. Our “babies” are growing up—moving through puberty, shifting friendships,
and sometimes forming intimate relationships—while parents and caregivers are often juggling work, volunteering, caring responsibilities, and the needs of other children.
This is where Adolescent Allies comes in! A fortnightly group for parents and caregivers who are parenting beyond childhood. Adolescent Allies come together for social connection, with a sprinkle of conversations about topics relevant to this age and stage of parenting. Supported by a Community Support Worker, the aim of Adolescent Allies is, to recognise the importance of staying connected to ourselves and to our young people during this important stage of development. Adolescent Allies creates space for parents to reflect, share, and strengthen their capacity to be steady, compassionate allies to the adults their children are becoming—so no one has to navigate this season alone.
Come to share a nibble and a cuppa and stay for conversations. The group runs fortnightly on Tuesday evenings, 4.30 – 6pm during school terms, and is delivered in a hybrid option via Zoom – meaning that if you can’t attend in person there is an option to attend online.
