For information on additional sessions, please check the Real Identities website. Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families is a 12-step program of people who grew up in dysfunctional homes. We meet to share our experiences of growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect and trauma infected us. This affects us today and influences how we deal with all aspects of our lives. ACA provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allows us to grieve our childhoods and conduct an honest inventory of ourselves and our family—so we may (i) identify and heal core trauma, (ii) experience freedom from shame and abandonment, and (iii) become our own loving parents.
