When we talk about creating communities that support recovery, it has to start where people spend most of their time — at work. ???? That’s why I’m so excited to share that the NCWorks - Macon County is now officially designated as a Recovery Friendly Workplace! ???? This team sees the full person behind the résumé. They know that recovery isn’t just a personal journey — it’s a community effort. And they’ve taken meaningful steps to create a space where people in recovery feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. ???? They’re not just helping people find jobs — they’re helping people build new lives. ????? Here’s to a workplace that walks the walk and leads with compassion. Thank you, Yvonne Cano and NCWorks Macon. You’re lighting the way for others. ?
