who has Mormon beliefs Support person/Friend Substance using associate
Others Intervener (should the role play go off track) Observer (Teacher) Others frequenting the Second Life Venue (not related to the
role play, however could inadvertently become involved)
Alcohol and DrugStudents thoughts revealed at debriefing
Recovering substance user (Tara) – “I felt pressured by everyone! They took away my ability to make my own choices”. “I thought the conscience was some wacko”
Substance using associate (Peter) – “ I wanted to take a more passive approach… felt cold, rejected, desperate. It was like trying to win a war”
Cousin (Sarah) - “being Mormon made me stand out, I felt different…. I felt so sorry for Tara and Natalie”
Alcohol and DrugOutcomes “I felt so conflicted all the time… I now have a much better appreciation of the client’s motivation toward change” “Gave us, as workers great insight into the pressure experienced by substance users… as a worker we need to be aware of not adding to the pressure if possible!”
“We as workers need to allow the clients to make their own decisions…”
“It really highlighted personal values and activated those 'automatic' defense mechanisms which AOD clients must come up against regularly”
Alcohol and DrugReflections on the learning experience: Learners
“I found it interesting (and it made me think about my own thoughts on rehab) that people think that rehab is complete once the person is “let out” of the rehabilitation/centre”.
“I found myself entering into the emotion of my avatar as he was being 'attacked' … and found himself on the brink of losing his only friend. There was a real sense of desperation and the passive nature shifted toward aggressive as he felt like he was losing the battle”.
Student reflections on virtual role
Alcohol and DrugReflections on the learning experience: Teacher
"Second Life allowed students to experience drug culture, and the related interpersonal relationships, more realistically than ever before. Even I had goose bumps at times. Virtual worlds, such as Second Life, really are a powerful learning tool and worth all the hard work preparing the trial."
