Types of AA Meetings

Babysitting Available: AA centers might have pre-existing available babysitting services, which they make available for members during meetings. Services vary in terms of cost, ages of children accepted, and amenities for babysitters, members, and children.

Closed: In Washington, closed AA meetings are only available to members of AA and people who want to find help for alcohol addiction. Nonalcoholics and general members of the community cannot attend these discussions, which center on topics related to alcoholism and recovery.

Wheelchair Access: Washington AA centers generally provide wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients. These features may include open meeting rooms, restroom access, and amenities. Exterior ramps and designated parking assist in making facilities safe for navigation.

Women: Washington AA meetings for women are women-specific peer support meetings for those who are affected by alcohol addiction - women who are addicted to alcohol or who have loved ones suffering from alcoholism. Open to women of all ages and with no cost to attend, these meetings offer community support and are guided by a 12-step recovery program.
