As communities address the growing problems of homelessness, substance use, and mental health, there is also a workforce crisis that has made it more difficult to properly staff the organizations serving on the front lines. One solution is to mobilize people with lived experience — those who have experienced homelessness, problematic substance use, mental health disorders, or justice system involvement.
Register for the next WellSky webinar to hear how Eastern Carolina Housing Organization (ECHO) has achieved successful results by opening the door to people with lived experience. This conversation will provide a framework to help better serve communities.
Learning objectives
- Examine the harm of stigma tied to substance use and homelessness
- Recognize the benefits of looking beyond stigma in hiring practices
- See the positive outcomes ECHO has achieved and how they made it work
ECHO's approach benefits both the organization and the community, fostering positive change and demonstrating the powerful impact of inclusive employment.
This webinar will take place on Thursday, October 3 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
