PBMC offers recovery-ready employer training

March 4, 2022

Pen Bay Medical Center will host a four-part series on how to become a recovery-friendly worksite as part of the hospital’s ongoing work to support individuals in recovery who live and work in Knox County. Whether a local business is looking to hire individuals in recovery or better support individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) who are already employed to increase retention and decrease healthcare costs, this series will provide information on how to break down stigma and bias and support employees with SUD.

The four part series will cover:

  • · stigma and bias;
  • · voices from the community: a panel of employers and employees discussing their experiences;
  • · the medical side of a SUD;
  • · and policies.

The series will take place Tuesdays, March 22, April 12, May 3 and May 24, from 11 a.m. to noon. The series is free and will be held online via zoom. Pre-registration is required; please visit journeytohealth.coursestorm.com or call 301-3950 to register.
