AFSP Nevada is designated a Recovery Friendly Workplace

Hello AFSP Nevada Chapter friends and supporters,

It is with great pleasure that I would like to formally announce that the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention- Nevada is going to become a designated Nevada Recovery Friendly Workplace!

AFSP’s mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. Overdose and suicide are quite related and it’s importnat to design programs that address both at the same time. We must address substance use and suicide to save lives and bring hope.

The Nevada Recovery Friendly Workplace (RFW) Initiative is an effort led by Foundation for Recovery, in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services, and supported by Nevada’s executive office.

The purpose of the initiative is to promote individual wellness by creating work environments that further the mental and physical wellbeing of employees; proactively preventing substance misuse and celebrating recovery from in the workplace and the community. The RFW will challenge the stigma of substance use disorder(sud) and mental health; it will help save lives and strengthen families.

We encourage everyone in our team to live a healthy, happy life. We are committed to fully supporting you and creating a healthier work environment for you to thrive in.

With gratitude,

Mai Tran (she/her), Area Director
