Ohio Offers Many Free Services to Help Individuals in Recovery Find and Keep Jobs

 

 

During National Workforce Development Month and National Recovery Month this September, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) Director Matt Damschroder and OOD Director Kevin L. Miller remind Ohioans that many free services are available to help individuals in recovery from substance use disorders find and keep jobs. Read the press release from ODJFS.

 

As an early kick-off to this year’s National Recovery Month, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that all Ohio employers can now show they are champions of recovery by applying to be a designated Ohio Recovery Friendly Workplace. Recovery friendly workplaces promote worksite wellness programs, increase access to support for employees struggling with substance misuse, provide employment opportunities for people in recovery, and reduce the stigma of addiction.
