A steady job can change everything for someone in recovery.

It brings structure, purpose, and a reason to keep going. In October, our team attended the 2026 National Disability Employment Awareness Month celebration at the Tubman Museum. It was hosted by Advancing Employment at the University of Georgia, with support from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. The focus was on opening doors to work for people with disabilities, including people living with mental health challenges and substance use disorders. We were especially glad to hear about the Georgia Recovery-Ready Workplace initiative, called GROW. It connects employers with recovery organizations like ours to build workplaces where people in recovery can thrive. Own a business or hire for one? We’d love to talk about what a recovery-ready workplace could look like for you.
