LAST CHANCE! REGISTER FOR RECOVERY & THE WORKPLACE
|
Drug Free America Foundation cordially invites you to participate in a webinar on Thursday, October 29th:
Recovery and the Workplace Webinar Summary We are excited to share with you presentations from two unique international programs of recovery and return to working productivity: San Patrignano, a recovery community in Italy, and Obra Social Ferroviaria, railway workers' health service of Argentina.
San Patrignano: San Patrignano does not consider drug addiction as a chronic disease, although recognizing that is a recurring one. Therefore, instead of medicalization, the community helps the individual journey towards recovery, with the ultimate goal of reaching a sober and productive life, finding a way out from addiction. The drugs of choice are uninfluential because the drug free approach does not tackle the drug itself, but the roots causes that brought people to the abuse, and the program is tailor made and people-centered. The program actively works in dismantling the addictive behavior introducing positive element in life, practicing the ethic of responsibility and accountability, educating people and nurturing their talents, thanks to job training and life skills, leading to individual empowerment and aiming at final social reintegration.
Obra Social Ferroviaria: The presentation is about an addiction prevention program in the workplace and its evaluation.The program focuses on job reintegration, awareness of illness, and peer support.The program has been carried out since 2010 in the Obra Social Ferroviaria (railway workers' health service) in Argentina.
