Breaking Barriers – Empowering Employers to Tackle Workplace Addiction

Event Calendar

Addiction is an issue that nearly everyone has some experience with, if not personally then through a friend or family members. In addition, around 3/4 of those with alcohol or drug dependency are employed.

So, it’s imperative that all employers are aware of the issues and considerations surrounding this topic.

Join us for an engaging and interactive half-day workshop, where we’ll be joined by Scott Morgan and Martin Cantrill, the CEO & COO of peer led A Better Tomorrow, a recovery organisation based in Telford that works with those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from those with ‘lived experience’ to understand the true impact of addiction on our lives, society, and the world of work, and to understand how everyone (including employers) can help shape a path to a better future through recovery.

Through real-world case studies, expert-led discussions, and insightful activities, participants will:

✔ Identify early warning signs of substance use and addictive behaviours in employees.
✔ Learn effective intervention strategies to address concerns with empathy and professionalism.
✔ Understand legal and ethical considerations when handling addiction-related workplace challenges.
✔ Explore best practices for fostering a supportive culture such as reducing stigma around recovery and promoting recovery-friendly policies.

This dynamic session isn’t just about policies—it’s about creating a healthier, more resilient workplace where employees feel safe, supported, and empowered to seek help.

Who Should Attend? HR professionals, managers, business owners, team leaders and mental health first aiders.
Format: Interactive discussions, hands-on exercises, and expert guidance.
