Greetings RMR Nar-Anon Members,

Please click here to view the results of our survey published on this website between October 4th, 2022 and January 31st, 2023.

A total of 173 people responded, this is a 23 % increase from 2021 which is just spectacular engagement two years in a row!

This year I will offer my “Big Rock” insights but I will also provide a separate PDF document for those wanting a deeper look, some of this information may also be shared as part of our Five Year Accomplishment report, expected in April 2023.   

In reviewing the report, I am struck by the following insights:

• Nearly 95% of respondents attend a virtual meeting and 30% attend hybrid or in-person meetings.  By my count there were 141 respondents attending our daytime meetings, which began forming about 18 months ago. On average the respondents attend between 4-5 meetings a week. 
• The region website is our largest Outreach Channel, with over 30% of respondents finding Nar-Anon this way. When we add in friends and family, other 12 step programs, therapists and treatment centers that accounts for how 90% of us found meetings and/or events. 
•  We continue to have a strong message of recovery reflected in the percentage of respondents working steps, the level of sponsorship, participation in events, and the number of meetings members attend weekly. Only 8% of respondents report not working steps. It does “Work if You Work It.” 
• Our unity and commitment to this design for living is taking hold; 51% of respondents have a year or more in Nar-Anon, 23% of respondents are sponsoring others, about 57% are serving at the group level and beyond and, 83% make 7th Tradition contributions.

There is still additional understanding we can obtain from this survey in our efforts to develop, coordinate and maintain services on behalf of the RMR Nar-Anon Family groups as a whole. These results will continue to be referenced within our Assemblies, Monthly RSC Calls, Subcommittee Meetings and as part of our RSC Budget and Events Processes. 

Again I extend my gratitude to those of you who responded and I welcome the use of these survey results by our fellowship in pursuit of our 5th Tradition purpose.
