Come to Southern California for the 25th Annual Adult Children of Alcoholics International Convention. At this year’s convention you will have an opportunity to nurture your Inner Child, enhance your recovery program and take the family or just yourself to Disneyland all at the same time. With 450 fellow travelers expected, it is the largest gathering of adult children in the world.

The theme of the 2015 Convention is “Taking the Action that Heals Us.” Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., a leading pioneer in the adult child movement and who with Claudia Black helped introduce the adult child movement to the world is this year’s keynote speaker. Dr. Brown will give two presentations. Her keynote address is entitled: “The Adult Child and Today’s Fast Paced Society: How to Stay Sane in an Insane World.” On Sunday she will discuss “Adult Children: Healing the Wounds No One Can See.”

Additionally, Friday night’s speaker is Elisa Goldstein, Ph.D. who will be speaking on “Uncovering Happiness Through Mindfulness and Self-Compassion.” A comedy show follows. On Saturday Ken Francis, MFT of Kaiser Permanente will deliver his presentation on “Living in the Solution.” There will be a dance immediately thereafter.

Herb K., of Rancho Palos Verdes, best known for his 12-step and Emotional and Spiritual Sobriety workshops, will facilitate a workshop entitled “Spirituality: Where was God when I was Growing Up?”

In addition to the 4 major presentations, there are eleven workshops, six ACA 12-step meetings, an ice cream social, a mixer, a harbor excursion and much more.
