Showing Up at Work: The Importance of Recovery Friendly and Mental Health Friendly Workplaces

Start Time: 1:30 pm
End Time: 2:30 pm
Speakers: Ellie Masson and Suzanne Weete

Over the past decade, the New Hampshire business community has turned its attention to creating workplaces that meet the needs of all employees. In response to multiple public health crises affecting how we all show up at work, school, and in our communities, Governor Sununu created the Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative, and residents of the city of Dover created the Dover Mental Health Alliance. These two advisory entities train businesses to become Recovery Friendly Workplaces and/or Mental Health Friendly Workplaces in order to reduce stigma, support their employees, and better connect to public health and recovery partners in the state.
