PAL Awareness Week — Leave Hope Where It's Needed
PAL Awareness Week  ·  August 16–23, 2026

Leave Hope
Where It's Needed

PAL Awareness Week is a nationwide effort to help families impacted by addiction discover hope and support through PAL. By placing PAL materials throughout your community, you can help a parent find the resources they need at exactly the right moment.

Bring Hope to Your Community
Three Simple Steps

Helping Families Find Hope Is Simple

1

Request Your Awareness Package

We'll send you everything you need — brochures, information cards, flyers, and ideas for where to share them.

2

Share Hope in Your Community

From August 16–23, place PAL materials where families may be looking for support — churches, treatment centers, libraries, counselors' offices, and local businesses.

3

Help a Family Find PAL

Every brochure placed is an opportunity for a parent to discover they are not alone — and that help is available.

Our Collective Impact

One Simple Action Can Change a Life

Last year, PAL supporters distributed thousands of pieces of literature across the country, connecting families with support, education, and hope.

85,000
Pieces of PAL Literature — Our 2026 Goal

Together, we can help more families discover they are not alone.

A Real Story

It Was Just a Small Card…
Until It Changed Everything

A mother sitting in her car, quietly struggling — until a small PAL card changed everything

A mother stood at a gas pump, quietly trying not to cry. Her son's addiction had turned her world upside down, and she didn't know where to turn.

Then someone noticed her, listened for a moment, and handed her a small card about Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL).

That night, she found a PAL meeting. For the first time, she realized she wasn't alone.

Today, she continues to attend PAL, and her family has found support, community, and hope.

That's the power of a simple act of awareness. Every brochure, flyer, and information card shared during PAL Awareness Week is an opportunity for another family to discover they are not alone.
