ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES

MEETINGS EVERY TUESDAY, 12-1PM. At ACA, we meet to share the experience we had as children growing up in dysfunctional homes, and how that experience affects us in our adult lives today. Dysfunctional homes oftentimes (but not always) include alcoholism or other forms of drug abuse. Family dysfunction can occur in homes that are rigidly religious, militaristic or punitive – or homes dominated by control, harsh judgement and perfectionism. Any type of abuse or neglect creates dysfunctional home environments, as can parental mental illness or other forms of parental disability. Persistent debt or gambling can be signs of family dysfunction. Those who were adopted, raised in foster care, or raised in single parent homes may also find that ACA resonates with them as a program of healing and discovery. LOCATION: Lutheran Redeemer Church, Tuesdays12-1pm. 3024 Jacklin Rd, Langford BC.
