Mark’s favorite piece of literature to use for outreach purposes is the service tool "The Best of Public Outreach" (P-90) in Episode 7’s part 4 of 5.  He shares how public outreach is what first got him into service in Al-Anon and calls out a “Getting Started” section on page 7, as well as pages 12-19 for several lists of outreach ideas.  He also explains how the workbook helped with a big outreach project he was involved with that was done in honor of Al-Anon’s founder, Lois Wilson, and how projects don’t need to be big to be effective.  Lastly, we discuss what it’s like to talk to people that are not familiar with the Al-Anon program.

QUOTABLE MOMENT FROM MARK:

  • "...any Al-Anon member is a great candidate to get involved in public outreach."
