Workplace Woes: Alcohol Misuse and Mental Health

We would love to see more of a collective responsibility for organizations to look at the wider well-being and incorporate substance misuse within that, rather than it just be a 'you come into work intoxicated and you're fired' situation.
Ever wondered how alcohol misuse affects the workplace? In this eye-opening episode of 'Two Roads Travelled', Jo and Paula sit down with Charlotte, a seasoned expert in the substance misuse sector. Charlotte brings over a decade of experience to the table, offering a wealth of knowledge on how alcohol misuse intertwines with mental health and the hidden dangers it poses in professional settings.
This episode dives deep into the often-ignored issue of alcoholism at work, shedding light on the stigma that surrounds it and why it's crucial for companies to foster a supportive environment. Jo and Paula don't just talk theory—they share personal stories that resonate with anyone who's been touched by addiction. They also discuss practical steps businesses can take to support employees struggling with alcohol misuse.
From destigmatizing the issue to implementing flexible support systems, this conversation is packed with actionable advice. Whether you're an employer, an employee, or someone interested in mental health and addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate perspectives. Tune in for a candid discussion that aims to change how we view and handle alcohol misuse in the workplace.
