Public Outreach Posters: The Origin Story!

Al‑Anon public outreach poster designs were inspired by requests from various Areas after seeing a poster depicting a woman holding a child trapped in a bottle. The original poster was created in Florida, and the World Service Office (WSO) adapted it to create downloadable templates that can be customized with local contact information. The WSO design replaced the woman trapped in the bottle with more generic silhouettes that cross demographic and cultural boundaries.

The WSO public outreach posters, with their eye-catching visuals and compelling messaging, are an inexpensive tool for raising awareness about Al‑Anon when displayed in public spaces such as libraries and community centers. Go to al-anon.org/posters to check them out.
