About this meeting
Dorchester ACA meets every Tuesday at 7.30pm at the United Reform Church on Charles Street. As an Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting, it is for adults who grew up with a parent's drinking or with other family dysfunction, and the emphasis throughout is on healing from childhood rather than on changing a present-day habit. Since it is an open meeting, nobody is turned away - friends, partners and professionals attend alongside those who identify as adult children. It costs nothing to attend and there's nothing to book ahead of time - newcomers can simply turn up and join the group.
Common questions
Do I have to identify as an adult child of an alcoholic to attend?
No. It's an open meeting, so anyone with an interest, including friends, family and professionals, is welcome.
Is booking essential before attending?
Not at all - the meeting is free and open without any booking process.
Where does the meeting meet in Dorchester?
At the United Reform Church, 49 Charles Street, Dorchester (DT1 1EE), every Tuesday at 7.30pm.
