We meet you at eye level
"Our goal is to build a bridge between Arud and the patients. We want to share prevention knowledge in a way that is appropriate to the person's needs, and we support people with our experience,advice and support."
Peer workers are people who have personal experience with addiction and recovery and use this valuable experience to support others with their expertise. To this end, peer workers have received appropriate training in medical and psychological areas and are firmly anchored in Arud's services with their part-time employment.
This is what the peer workers offer
- Open exchange with those affected, who know the circumstances of those affected by addiction
- Support in keeping appointments
- Support during treatment
- Representation of interests
Meetings with the peers
Meetings are held on request, for an appointment please contact us via email: peers@arud.ch or by phone 058 360 51 81.
Insight into peer work at Arud
«We know how it feels when the craving kicks in. We know how bad it feels when you have once again failed to keep your resolution.»
«We also have or had nothing else to think about but the next hit. We have experienced how hard it is to bring consumption back under control or to give it up completely.
We can tell you how we try to deal with the addiction. We are or were in the same situation as you. We can support and accompany you on your way with our experience, and possibly also take something away from your experiences for us. To make sure you have a competent contact person, we have undergone extensive training.»
(Anton Kohler, Arud peer worker)
