Back in September 2015, I was told about a course called Pilotlight which would be running in Aberdeen and was briefly told it was about recovery and there would be people in recovery from alcohol and drug misuse and practitioners and we would be discussing and working together to see if there was any improvements in the process of recovery.

The values and skills required to be a peer support worker are firstly and most importantly I think is to have good communication skills and be a good listener. They must have a good knowledge about the subject whether it be alcohol and drug misuse or a mental health issue.
