On behalf of the NET Training Institute d/b/a Florida Recovery Friendly Workplace (FL-RFW), I respectfully submit this request for funding in the amount of $1,000,000—or any level of support available—to further our mission of transforming Florida’s workplaces into environments that promote wellness, reduce stigma, and empower recovery for individuals and families impacted by substance use and mental health conditions.
The Florida Recovery Friendly Workplace initiative provides comprehensive support, training, technical assistance, and legal consulting to businesses committed to creating inclusive and supportive workspaces. Our programming benefits all employees by fostering a culture of openness and well-being, while specifically equipping employers to compassionately support individuals in recovery and their loved ones. As more organizations recognize the importance of mental health and recovery in workforce stability and retention, our services serve as a vital bridge to a healthier and more resilient Florida economy.
With your partnership, we can expand our statewide impact—establishing a centralized Center of Excellence, increasing employer engagement, and scaling best practices that help Floridians thrive in the workplace and beyond.
