New resources for Hoosiers in recovery

Individuals recovering from addiction or with prior justice involvement – or facing mental health challenges in general – can access new, detailed resources at no charge from the Wellness Council of Indiana to help them maintain their current employment or re-enter the workforce. The organization also has support for employers with the latest best practice tools on how they can overcome their own stigma and work toward becoming a recovery-ready employer.

Wellness Council of Indiana is putting that message into action next month as it kicks off an event series for employers designed to bridge the gaps in workplace mental health and substance use disorder resources. The in-person gatherings are free and held in partnership with the Division of Mental Health and Addiction within Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration.
