To Tell Or Not To Tell: The Risks Versus The Inspiration Of The Lived Experience Story

An event exploring the value and challenge of sharing a lived experience, the potential over disclosure of sharing a trauma focussed story, the vulnerability for the individual sharing the trauma experience versus the potential of the Recovery focussed story to inspire and support the recovery of others. Peers of North Ayrshire Recovery College will share their recovery stories and Darren McGarvey will share his thinking on the risks in sharing a personal story in a public context.
