Public information, Employment Liaison & Health Liaison
Public information
What we do?
A Public Information Officer gets information regarding AA out to the public, outside of meetings and try and make people aware that we are here and what we do.
We do this in various ways, such as visiting libraries to leave information posters, postcards, and wallet sized cards with the details of how to contact us on them. We try to organize public information days where a couple of us may be invited to sit at a table for a few hours and anyone who is curious about what we do can speak to us personally.
Since Lockdown, PI in London joined forces and PIOs contacted every homeless/ Drinking service in North London and councilors to let them know even though some physical meetings have not re-opened yet we are still available online and people are recovering.
