The HIPI Committee is A.A. Singapore’s way of reaching out and cooperating with our community. We do this so that psychology and medical practices, institutions, hospitals, treatment centres and other relevant organisations and individuals are aware that A.A. is here to help. Should they be interested in helping members of the public with alcohol problems, HIPI is there to provide information, literature, in-person interviews and presentations, so that people in need may find their way to our fellowship.

In an effort to improve A.A. Singapore’s outreach, the HIPI Committee has formed the following structure for service positions. If you or sponsees are looking for service work within A.A., please join us at our next HIPI Committee meeting to see how you can get involved
