Updates from CSO

Schools Committee – School Engagement Assistance

The schools subcommittee is looking for assistance to establish contacts in schools in SEQLD with a view to potentially visiting more schools and conveying our message of hope and recovery.  We’ve had limited success in recent years and are seeking the help of our community.  If you know someone in a school who is willing to have a no obligation chat on education AA can offer in schools pls feel free to drop us a line at AA-schools@outlook.com.  Pls check with the individual first they are willing to have a discussion and be clear its nothing more than a discussion, they are under no obligation.  What will happen is the schools committee will contact them to discuss what we can offer, what the format of a school visit looks like and answer any questions they may have.  It would then be completely up the individual and school of any engagement they would or wouldn’t like to undertake.
