Drug Free Workplace Initiative

Logan County participated in a Drug Free Workplace Initiative through the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services in 2017.  As partners in the project, the MHDAS Board of Logan & Champaign Counties and the Logan County Chamber recruited local businesses to participate in training with Working Partners.  In the training they had the opportunity to develop a Drug Free Workplace Policy and learn more about addiction and the employer’s role in addressing it. Watch these short local videos to see the impact of the initiative.
