Michaela Jones

Michaela began her own recovery journey in June 2008 and was Content Editor for the Wired In To Recovery Online Community in late 2009. From 2013 she ran In2recovery, a multi-media organisation focusing on raising awareness of recovery. In April 2018 Michaela joined the Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) as their National Recovery Community Development Officer and in December 2018 she moved into a new position at the SRC as National Lived Experience Development Officer. She currently works for Alcohol Focus Scotland as a Senior Policy Co-ordinator, focusing on engaging people with Lived Experience in policy initiatives, while studying for an MSc in Substance Use.

Michaela is particularly interested in how knowledge gained through experience can inform and influence the policy debate.
