Learn how construction workplaces are becoming recovery-informed and supporting workers with substance use and mental health challenges during our FREE breakfast session in Kelowna.
In recent years, employers have observed a disconnect between the needs of workers dealing with recovery issues and the healthcare system's ability to address them. The construction industry is taking action by establishing Recovery-Friendly Workplaces—environments that diminish stigma and provide recovery support.
Join us for a FREE special BCCSA breakfast meeting at the Eldorado Resort (Waterfront Room III) at 3762 Lakseshore Road, Kelowna. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet and listen to two dynamic guest speakers who will share their insights into the transformative power of workplace intervention.
Dr. Paul Farnan shares international initiatives and research insights into the importance of fostering inclusive environments that support the journey of recovery and the many ways in which workplaces can become catalysts for positive change and healing. He also explores the ripple effects of workplace peer support on overall employee and family well-being, productivity, and retention in the construction industry. A 30-year veteran in the field of addiction and occupational medicine, Dr. Farnan is a Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Family Practice at the University of British Columbia, and Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.
Ian Robb, Chairman, Building Trades of Alberta (BTA) highlights the success of the BTA’s unique Building Resiliency Program. The program offers new options for workers and their families to reclaim a positive pathway as it addresses mental health, addiction, and dependency challenges with the support of the workplace. As a passionate advocate for Recovery-Informed Workplaces, Ian highlights ways in which workplaces that support and empower individuals to navigate these challenges inspire loyalty and productivity, while leading to better health and safety outcomes.
