POSTPONED Business Development Series sponsored by Bank of New Hampshire: How The Drug Problem Is Impacting Your Workplace

Description

This course was developed for businesses, universities, schools and other organizations that have a vested interest in a safe, liability-free workplace or campus and/or quality product or work life.

Drugs, and therefore addiction and distribution are prevalent everywhere! This problem exists from the extreme smallest communities to the largest cities in this country, from the smallest schools and businesses to the largest, and from the most respectable people to the least.

The problem? With addiction comes a tremendously negative impact to educational institutions, businesses and families. Addiction brings not only liability issues from a safety perspective, but also decreased productivity, quality issues and disruption to business/school.

The bottom line is that the key to success is in recognizing change! The sooner you see change the more likely we will be successful in our intervention efforts!

Recognizing potential addiction problems in employees, students AND family can bring tremendous advantage not only to your organization, but in helping those who suffer from addiction. Regardless of whether student, employee or family member, we care about them. This course will help you recognize and understand the signs of addiction, the dangerous items that accompany addiction, and those who suffer from addiction, and provide some remedies with the problem should you encounter it in your life.
