Today we welcome a trio of incredible recovery sector professionals to discuss lived experience and how lived experience of addiction and recovery can benefit communities, organisations and all other aspects of health. Two of our guests, David Best, a professor in addiction and recovery research, and Stuart Green, service manager for Aspire in Doncaster, were part of the team who set up CLERO, the College of Lived Experience and Recovery Organisations. Stuart and David are also joined by Gord Garner, Executive Director of the Community Addictions Peer Support Association (CAPSA) in Canada.
