Lived Experience Career Pathway - Intuitive Thinking Skills Course Information
The Lived Experience Career Pathway aims to provide you with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to support a career within the substance use sector. The Level 1 in Substance Misuse is a nationally recognised qualification and the Enhanced Skills Practice Course builds on the learning from the Level 1.

- The Intuitive Recovery Course
This is a 4 day course, delivered by people who have been through drug and alcohol treatment and have successfully recovered. It’s a practical educational course which teaches the learner how to say NO to the voice in their head that encourages them to go back using or drinking. As such, its idea for those still using substances or alcohol, as well as those seeking to cement their plans for abstinence further.
The course comes with a Level 1 Qualification in Addictive Desire Recognition.
