Sweetser was the guest speaker at the Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce’s latest IDEAS webinar series.

Our Director of Recovery, Aliana Knox, and our Clinical Supervisor at our Brunswick Hope & Healing Center, Ali Zubrod, gave a presentation focused on building recovery-safe workplaces and supporting employees in recovery from substance use disorders. They shared practical, employer‑friendly strategies to reduce stigma, create inclusive policies, and foster a culture of trust.
