Mission
This is the founding principle of the PAL movement. People helping people through the woods.
PAL groups meet weekly to educate, support and help each other with issues arising from loving someone with an addiction.
Each PAL group is facilitated by a peer, someone walking the same path. While the focus is on parents with an addicted child, all family member and friends are welcome to attend PAL meetings.
History
Parents with a child addicted to drugs and/or alcohol can find hope in a support program called Parents of Addicted Loved-ones (PAL).
PAL was founded in 2006 by Michael Speakman, LISAC while working as an in-patient Substance Abuse Counselor in Arizona.
As the number of meetings spread due to growing demand, volunteer facilitators were trained and new meetings opened across the Phoenix metropolitan area.
In 2015, PAL was incorporated as a Christian run non-profit and falls under a 501c(3) for charitable donations as a partner with another Christian organization, Partners In Action.
PAL meetings are open to anyone of any faith or background as our primary goal is to provide hope through education and support for parents dealing with addicted loved ones.
PAL is now governed by a volunteer board.
