Meetings self-identified as Welcoming to Women
Most SAA meetings are “Mixed,” meaning that they are open to all genders. Despite the designation some are men-only in practice, which can seem unfriendly to a new woman member. So, how does a woman find one that is welcoming?
The SAA Women’s Intergroup is made up of meetings that are approachable, welcoming, and safe — friendly to women. We want to hear from groups that support our Vision and Mission; for example, they may:
- provide contact information for women,
- have one or more women attending, or
- offer a separate phone list for women members.
If this describes your Mixed-gender, Women-only, LGBTQ+, or Open meeting, we encourage you to register as a Member Meeting with the SAA Women’s Intergroup at your business meeting.
We list registered member meetings (below), and we send announcements for our Intergroup’s Business Meetings, where your members (of all genders) may attend and vote.
“To carry the message of recovery to the (woman) sex addict who still suffers and to support the (woman) sex addict who continues with her journey of recovery.”
SAA Women’s Intergroup Vision
“To produce, support, and financially assist women-only retreats, workshops, events, activities, and initiatives focused on sexual addiction recovery; to support the women’s outreach initiatives of other SAA groups; and to provide information, encouragement, and financial assistance for individual women to participate in these events.”
SAA Women’s Intergroup Mission Statement
