This National Recovery Month and Suicide Awareness Month, I’m reminded that disability doesn’t always look the way we expect. Addiction and mental health struggles are often invisible, yet they can deeply impact the lives of those around us. As employers, we have a responsibility to create spaces where employees can seek help without fear of stigma. Supporting employees in recovery or those facing mental health challenges isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential for fostering an inclusive and understanding workplace. Let’s continue to advocate for mental health support, provide accommodations for addiction, and promote recovery-friendly environments. #NationalRecoveryMonth #SuicideAwarenessMonth #WorkplaceInclusion #MentalHealthMatters #SupportRecovery #LetsDisclo Disclo
