Rhode Island’s Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative
The Rhode Island Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative works with partners and employers to help address substance use and mental health conditions facing workforces and communities.

A “Recovery Friendly Workplace” (RFW) is a place of work in which the employer, in collaboration with employees, establishes, maintains, and continually enhances policies, practices, and a culture and work environment that are supportive of current and prospective employees in recovery from, or otherwise affected by, substance use disorders and mental health challenges.

We provide consulting, guidance, training, and technical support to help workplaces implement evidence-based practices and support for employees in recovery, those looking to enter treatment and recovery, and people in recovery looking to reengage the workforce.
