Recovery Friendly Workplace

Montag Forward Solutions LLC became a Recovery Friendly Workplace because of a strong commitment to reducing stigma and supporting people in recovery. For Owner and CEO Louise Montag, it was important to help normalize conversations around mental health and substance use disorders while creating a workplace culture where employees feel seen, supported, and safe. As Montag shared, “There is so much stigma around substance use disorders and I want to be part of normalizing mental health/substance use disorders and supporting people in recovery.”

Louise also described the process of becoming a Recovery Friendly Workplace as straightforward and supportive, noting that the steps were clearly laid out and easy to follow, and that the team was helpful in answering questions and checking in along the way. For organizations considering taking this step, it is strongly encouraged. Becoming a Recovery Friendly Workplace shows employees that their wellbeing matters and helps create an environment where important conversations can happen openly and without fear of judgment.
