Wellness Council of Indiana Offers New Stigma-Free Toolkit for Hoosier Workplaces

A new complimentary resource, “A Mental Health Stigma-Free Workplace Culture Toolkit” from the Wellness Council of Indiana (WCI), a subsidiary of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, guides employers on steps they can take to reduce the stigma associated with mental health conditions as well as substance use disorder. One in five U.S. adults – including one in four Hoosiers – suffers from some form of mental health disorder.

Mental illnesses directly affect an employee’s ability to perform effectively at work and are associated with absenteeism and lost productivity. By being a recovery-friendly workplace, employers can accomplish several things. For example, it encourages a healthy and safe environment where employees and their communities can create positive change and eliminate barriers for those affected by addiction. When discussing a “recovery-friendly workplace” within this toolkit, it means a workplace supporting its communities by recognizing recovery from substance use disorder as a strength and being willing to work intentionally with people in recovery.

Hoosier employers and any interested organizations are encouraged to download the toolkit at www.wellnessindiana.org. Orange County was designated a Healthy Indiana Community in 2022.

If you are interested in becoming an AchieveWELL business through the Wellness Council of Indiana, please reach out to OCEDP!
