The Middlesbrough-based charity is a peer-led, substance use recovery organisation, with the mission to inspire individuals and communities to achieve their full potential.
Our collaboration means a dedicated member of staff employed by Recovery Connections is based permanently on site, primarily at Teesport, as a point of contact for our people.
This provides a comfortable, safe space to share concerns, gather advice and seek help. The service is open to any of our 1,400 strong team should they or someone they know, experience problematic substance use issues. It’s the first of its kind for Recovery Connections, which aims to enable people to live their lives free from stigma and discrimination.
“Not only does this partnership support people within the organisation, who may need extra support, it can also help to reduce the chance of losing invaluable experience and skills from the workforce, unnecessarily.
“We recognise that substance use can pose a threat to workplace culture and productivity, but with the correct procedures and support in place there is always the opportunity to create positive outcomes for everyone involved. We hope this partnership will inspire other industry leaders to implement similar, forward-thinking initiatives.”
