To keep the Al-Anon message clear and to encourage fellowship, only Al-Anon/Alateen Conference Approved Literature (CAL) and Al-Anon/Alateen service tools are distributed and used at Al-Anon and Alateen meetings, as well as at meetings held at conferences and conventions.

Conference Approved Literature presents a unified view of Al-Anon/Alateen to professionals, the general public and outside organizations.
