True or False: It is recommended to always wear name tags and badges when engaging with peers.

Wearing name tags and badges when engaging with peers is not always required or recommended. While it can be useful in some settings to help establish familiarity and approachability, there are times when it may not be necessary or appropriate. Many peer support environments prioritize the creation of a relaxed, informal atmosphere where the focus is on the peer relationship rather than on titles or identities that badges and name tags may suggest.

This principle supports a model of peer support that emphasizes equality and shared experience rather than a hierarchical or formal structure. In many contexts, the interaction is enhanced by keeping the environment as casual as possible, allowing individuals to connect on a more personal level without the distractions that may come from an emphasis on formal roles indicated by name tags. Therefore, suggesting that it is never necessary aligns with a philosophy that values peer-to-peer interaction as inherently collaborative and supportive.
