True or False: It is acceptable to wear name tags and badges at all times when working with peers.

Wearing name tags and badges at all times when working with peers can sometimes compromise the privacy and comfort levels of those receiving support. In peer recovery settings, the emphasis is often on creating an environment that feels safe and welcoming. While name tags can facilitate introductions and help build rapport, constant visibility of such identifiers might make peers feel identified or stigmatized, potentially hindering their sense of autonomy.

The decision to wear name tags and badges can depend on the context of the interaction. In some cases, they may be appropriate, such as during initial meetings to break down barriers and establish trust. However, in ongoing support situations, the need for a more relaxed and less formal environment may arise. Therefore, the use of name tags and badges should be considered carefully, taking into account the preferences of the peers and the specific dynamics of the situation. This nuanced understanding highlights why it is not deemed acceptable to wear identification at all times, as it may not always align with the goal of fostering a supportive and confidential atmosphere.
