This session is for peer support workers in designated roles who might consider drawing on their own lived or living experience of alcohol and/or other drug use in their work. It will be facilitated by lived experience educators with an understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges of self-disclosure around AOD use in peer work.
The session involves taking part in a private reflection activity using our AOD Self-Disclosure Decision Making Tool. You will then have the opportunity to reflect on a story from your own direct experience, noting that the focus is on your personal journey, rather than that of a family member or significant other. NB: You won’t be asked to share your story with the group. Instead, the activity offers a chance to explore the considerations around self-disclosure in a work setting and apply them to your own context.
The following is required in order to enrol and participate in this workshop:
