SUMMARY:Best Practices for AOD Services in Media Engagement and Lived and Living Experience Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Lived and living experience of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use are frequently featured in media reporting. While these accounts can challenge stereotypes\, media coverage often stigmatises AOD issues\, leading to negative outcomes for those involved. \nThe event showcases a new resource developed by AADC to support best practices in AOD services when approached by the media for access to lived and living experience. \nIt also features a panel of experts discussing AOD\, stigma\, media portrayals and in the context of an upcoming Federal election\, how the risk to those sharing their lived and living experience stories can be minimised when participating in sector advocacy.
