About this meeting

The Wednesday ACA Step Meeting is held at 7.45pm in the Old Chapel building at St Joseph's Church in Christchurch. The ACA programme is for adults whose childhood was marked by a parent's drinking or by other family dysfunction, and its recovery work is about healing from that experience rather than about stopping a habit in adulthood. Since it is an open meeting, nobody is turned away - friends, partners and professionals attend alongside those who identify as adult children. As its name suggests, the meeting has a step-focused format, working through the Twelve Steps that form the core of the ACA programme. Attendance is free and no booking is required - anyone can simply arrive and take a seat among the group.
