Navigating Recovery of the Lakes Region is committed to creating a healthy, safe, and stigma-free work environment for our team through our participation in the NH Governor’s Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) Initiative. RFW’s encourage environments where employers, employees, and communities can collaborate to create positive change and eliminate barriers for those impacted by Substance Use Disorder. Furthermore, understanding that work can provide both purpose and meaning for individuals, especially in recovery, Navigating Recovery embraces RFW guidelines that create a work environment that is conducive to supporting people impacted by Substance Use Disorder and co-occurring mental health concerns. In order to achieve a high level of employee health, safety, and productivity, we invite and encourage all employees to reach out for help and support anytime.
Furthermore, we believe that all employers and employees have a right to be seen, heard, and respected as citizens of the world. They should be treated with equality regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, age, citizenship status, or sexual orientation, and have the right to be protected from harm. We believe in the power of civil society to hold open the spaces for inclusive conversations that are the building blocks of new systems that value justice and equity for everyone. It is our responsibility to listen, learn, and stand up for people who have suffered from oppression, and hold accountable those that engage in hatred.
