We’ve Got to Talk About it!
Addiction – Moving from Reticence
to Recovery in the Workplace
presented by Grant Boyken
Candid talk in the workplace about problems with alcohol and other drugs reduces the stigma and increases the likelihood that people will seek help earlier.
This webinar uses a combination of engaging real-life stories and recent research findings to provide an overview of:
- The prevalence, nature and costs of substance use disorder (SUD) in the workplace
- Information and resources to help open the dialogue and support employees experiencing SUD
- Tips and resources to help employers create “recovery-ready” workplaces
