Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who come together to solve their drinking problem. It doesn’t cost anything to attend A.A. meetings. There are no age or education requirements to participate. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking problem.

A.A.’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Al‑Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.

The Survivor Group is a virtual support group. Grieving the loss of a loved one by suicide can be particularly challenging. A death by suicide is usually sudden, often unexpected and may be violent. These factors increase the degree of shock and trauma experienced compared to many other types of bereavement. Survivors may struggle to make sense of what has happened and fundamental beliefs may be challenged. The survivor group was created to support those navigating the loss of a loved one who has died by suicide. Our goal is for survivors to have a place to express themselves, connect, access resources and grow in hope.

Across all demographics, deaths by despair have been on the rise nationally. In an efforts to support those impacted, health and human service agencies in Barron, Burnett, Polk and Washburn Counties have collaborated to develop this community resource. The Metal Health Task Force of Washburn County and the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County have also played an integral role in mobilizing to make this effort a reality. Please contact about joining the group or following link to register. To respect our participants the conferencing link is not provided publicly.

This groups is for both addicts and those affected by addiction. The group meets weekly on Wednesdays from 8:00PM-9:30PM.
