I'd like to introduce my audience to Megan Gavin who is the Associate Vice President of Integrated Fundraising for Shatterproof. I've been recommending this organization as a one-stop, online resource for all things addiction (substance use disorder). This organization's mission and efforts are one of a kind. Please consider taking a look at their website if you are someone who is interested in learning more for yourself, your family and friends. Become part of a growing movement of people who are educating themselves and lifting the cloud of shame and stigma for this treatable disease. For those of you who want to more about their treatment finder service, here's a link: ATLAS (Addiction Treatment Locator, Assessment and Standards Platform).

  • My website: brettlovins.com
  • National Recovery Friendly Workplace Institute - the first national public- and private-sector initiative to help equip every employer to be a “Recovery Friendly Workplace” (nationwide).
  • Washington Recovery Alliance - building the capacity of the recovery community to advance substance use recovery and mental health wellness by catalyzing public understanding and shaping public policy in Washington State.
  • Recovery-Ready Workplace Toolkit - providing information, tools, and resources to help employers from all sectors—government, for-profit, non-profit, and not-for-profit—effectively prevent and respond to substance misuse in the workforce. From the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Domestic Policy Council, and 12 federal departments and independent agencies.
  • Latest (2022) Data on SUD in the US - from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). Link to my favorite PDF for statistics.
  • Addiction 101 - it’s not a moral failing—it’s a treatable illness. Get the facts about this misunderstood medical condition from my friends at Shatterproof...
