| 5/5/2026 | Join us for a meaningful and practical conversation on how mental health and substance use impact today’s workforce—and what businesses can do to create stronger, healthier workplaces. Hear from local experts and community leaders as they share real data, frontline experiences, and resources available right here in our community. You’ll gain insight into how mental health affects performance, attendance, relationships, and safety—and why addressing it matters for both your business and the broader community. The Warren County Leadership Institute Class of 2026 will also share how they are supporting access to care through local partnerships, including work connected to free health clinics and community resources. This session goes beyond discussion—you’ll collaborate with others to begin building a Mental Health Mission Statement for your organization, giving you something tangible to take back to your team. You’ll leave with: Stronger workplaces lead to stronger communities—and it starts with the conversations we have today. more info... |
