Webinar: Dealing with Substance Use in the Workplace
from Behind the Scenes:
We’ve heard from so many people across the industry that they have encountered someone in their workplace with a substance use issue, but they have had no training on how to deal with the situation. This webinar was created by the Behind the Scenes Substance Use Task Group, which includes industry professionals with lived experience and an addiction specialist.
Topics covered include:
Why you should help
What is addiction and how to recognize the signs and symptoms
Having a conversation with the person you are concerned about
Following up with treatment options and industry resources
What if the person doesn’t want to stop
Brief overview of union and employer obligations
This interactive 90-minute webinar is on Monday, November 17, at 7 p.m. Eastern. The webinar is free, but attendees do need to register in advance at btshelp.org/workplace.
