🎯 Goal: Present to team about the prevalence of substance use disorder, impact on the workplace and how to administer Naloxone while reducing associated stigma
Emilia Sanchez, Communications Director at Westside Logistics, is leading a transformative campaign to address substance use in the workplace. With a strong background in public health, Emilia understands the growing impact of substance misuse—especially in industries like logistics, construction, and healthcare. Her mission is to educate, reduce stigma, and create a culture of compassion and accountability.
The campaign begins with Team Education, a powerful initiative designed to inform employees about the prevalence of substance use disorders and their effects on workplace safety, productivity, and morale. Emilia is developing bilingual communication tools, including a monthly newsletter and a series of webinars featuring local experts.
These resources will share data, personal stories, and actionable guidance, helping employees understand addiction as a medical condition—not a moral failing.
Emilia is also working closely with leadership to implement a new substance use policy that balances accountability with support. The policy includes access to counseling, peer support, and resources for employees and their loved ones. By fostering open dialogue and offering meaningful help, Westside Logistics is taking a bold step toward healing and resilience.
Emilia’s work is more than a campaign—it’s a movement to empower individuals, strengthen teams, and build a workplace where no one struggles alone.
- “Help me create an engaging all-hands presentation about substance use disorder that reduces stigma and builds empathy”
- “Where can I find a video on how to identify an overdose and administer Naloxone?”
- “Generate key statistics and talking points about workplace substance use disorder tailored for employee presentations”
💡 Pro-tip: Start with anonymous polling to gauge stigma, then address specific misconceptions. Include recovery success stories to humanize the issue and inspire hope.
