ACA is a program supported by the MN Society of CPAs, www.mncpa.org,
that provides peer support, assessment, consultation and referral
to accountants, their families and colleagues who are affected
by addiction.
History In 1986 ACA began providing assistance
to chemically dependent and alcoholic accountants and their families
in Minnesota. Services have expanded to provide information and
referrals related to the spectrum of behavioral compulsions/addictions
including alcohol/drugs, gambling, sexual, food, and others.
Who will we help? Any accountant who believes
s/he may be addicted or any accountant who worries that a colleague
or family member may be struggling with addiction.
No Fees We are supported by the MN Society
of CPAs and contributions from accountants and accounting firms.
How will we help? Help begins with a confidential
phone consultation to discuss issues, options and choices.
Services ACA offers consultation, counseling,
assessment, intervention, and a full range of referral sources
including peer group support for accountants in recovery.
Staff An Executive Director, who is a certified
CD counselor, assisted by accountants in recovery who volunteer
to share their experience and resources.
