Upcoming Free Webinar: Dealing with Alcohol and Substance Use Issues in the Workplace

Join Behind the Scenes on Monday, February 23, at 7pm EST for a free, 90-minute webinar on ways to assist if you witness or suspect substance use impacting the workplace. The session is designed to be practical, compassionate, and directly relevant to the realities of life in the industry, where freelance culture and tight schedules can make these situations especially complex.

Participants will gain practical guidance on recognizing common signs and symptoms of substance misuse, approaching sensitive conversations with care and professionalism, responding when someone is not ready or willing to seek help, understanding treatment pathways and industry-specific support resources, navigating situations involving both short-term and long-term colleagues, and clarifying employer and union considerations when safety and well-being are at stake.
