"Healthy, happy employees are productive employees and they're loyal." - Jacqueline Hoffman
Ever wondered what it’s like to grow up surrounded by recovery? Jacqueline Hoffman, CEO of Prairie Sky Recovery Center, knows it all too well. From a young age, Jacqueline was immersed in the world of addiction recovery. Her mother, who put down the bottle when Jacqueline was just six, taught her the importance of service and community support. Church basements and recovery meetings were as familiar to her as playgrounds are to other kids.
She grew up with a deep understanding of the struggles and triumphs that come with addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', Jacqueline shares her unique journey and how it shaped her life's mission. Despite not having lived experience of addiction herself, she was never shielded from its harsh realities. Her home was a haven for newcomers to recovery, often filled with people seeking a fresh start.
This upbringing instilled in her a profound sense of purpose. Now at the helm of Saskatchewan's only private inpatient treatment center, Jacqueline is a fierce advocate for integrating recovery support into the workplace. She believes that employers play a crucial role in their employees' mental health and addiction recovery journeys. By developing pre and post-treatment services and family care enhancement programs, Jacqueline is paving the way for healthier, more supportive work environments.
Her story is a testament to the power of community and the impact of compassionate leadership. Jacqueline emphasizes that employers should view themselves as vital resources for their employees, fostering loyalty and productivity through genuine support. She also discusses the barriers to accessing treatment and the critical role of community backing in overcoming these obstacles. Tune in to hear Jacqueline Hoffman's inspiring story and her advocacy for recovery-informed workplaces.
Her insights offer valuable lessons for anyone interested in creating supportive environments for those battling addiction.
