JOIN THE NETWORK
Welcome to the Illinois Recovery Workforce Network, dedicated to breaking barriers and fostering opportunities for individuals in recovery. Our primary focus is establishing and enhancing employment-based recovery support services while tackling obstacles that hinder gainful employment.
As a member, you'll benefit from our monthly gatherings, held virtually or in person, where we pinpoint workforce gaps due to substance use disorder (SUD) prevalence.
