LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) have launched a statewide initiative to create healthier, more efficient workplaces. Through the Michigan Recovery Friendly Workplace
(MI R-F-W) program employers are encouraged to create supportive environments for employees in recovery from substance use disorder while enhancing overall workplace wellness.
The initiative provides education to leadership and human resources staff on substance use disorder, stigma, recovery, supportive policies, community resources and the safe administration of naloxone.
The MI R-F-W initiative is a statewide program funded by MDHHS through a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration State Opioid Response grant.
