PAL was founded in 2006 by Michael Speakman, LISAC, while working as an in-patient Substance Abuse Counselor in Arizona.
As the number of meetings spread due to growing demand, volunteer facilitators were trained and new meetings opened across the Phoenix metropolitan area.
In 2015, PAL was incorporated as a Christian run non-profit and falls under a 501c(3) for charitable donations as a partner with another Christian organization, Partners In Action.
PAL meetings are open to anyone of any faith or background as our primary goal is to provide hope through education and support for parents dealing with addicted loved ones. PAL is now governed by a volunteer board.
Tickets prices are: Per person: Conference tickets $35 *Early bird $25 Banquet tickets $45 *Early bird $35; Combination $60 *Early bird $50.
*Early bird pricing through March 9. Table prices are also available.
PAL is also looking for great items to include in its silent auction.
