NEWYPAA 2007

Alcoholism is a problem for youth too

Public perception that people can be too young to be alcoholic needs a major overhaul if people with an alcohol problem are to be helped, according to a young alcoholics convention.

A free public meeting on alcoholism and recovery, with a part-focus on the young will be held by New South Wales Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (NEWYPAA ) will be held:

• Friday 12th October, 2007
• 8.00pm
• Citigate Central Sydney
  (formerly Carlton Crest Hotel)
  169-179 Thomas St , Haymarket.

Key speaker: Jackie Furey, Clinical Consultant for South Pacific Private Hospital.

Hear from specialist health professionals, along with members of AA and Al-Anon Family Groups (Al-Anon offers support to families and friends of problem drinkers).
