The ACA Program

ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) was added to the support groups for Women Empowering Women in September of 2021. The ACA program offers members a valuable resource for those raised in dysfunction with or without alcohol or addiction present. The program focuses on the behavior patterns that we have carried over from childhood to survive and stay safe in our family of origin. ACA is not designed to blame our parents or our caregivers; it is, in fact, a program that provides a safe space for us to honor our past experiences and heal the inner child wounds we have carried into adulthood. This is a trauma-informed meeting, and if significant trauma is in your history and or you find the program is too triggering for you, you should consider seeking a counselor to help you work the program in addition to a sponsor and your community within ACA.  ​
