All groups are strongly urged to have a copy of the Guide to Local Services (GLS) available at meetings. Part of a GSR's responsibilities is to be familiar with the GLS.
The Nar-Anon Family Groups Guide to World Services (GWS) provides information, explanation, and description of the Nar-Anon world services' structure and system. Members of Nar-Anon who volunteer, or who are interested in volunteering, to be trusted servants at the world service level will find this guide an invaluable tool in giving back to the program for the peace and serenity they have received.
