Rhode Island’s Recovery Friendly Workplace movement continues to grow, and today we’re thrilled to celebrate a new partner committed to supporting recovery, wellness, and community strength: The Jane Adams Resource Center.

For years, The Jane Adams Resource Center has stood as a pillar of empowerment. Their work goes far beyond training and resources. They create stepping stones for individuals who are rebuilding, learning new skills, and striving for sustainable success. Their programs help people navigate barriers, enter the workforce with confidence, and build a foundation for a better future.

Becoming a Recovery Friendly Workplace is a natural extension of their mission. It reflects a belief that recovery is not just a personal journey — it’s something strengthened by supportive environments, compassionate leadership, and workplace cultures that understand the power of second chances.

At The Jane Adams Resource Center, recovery is not seen as a challenge to manage. It is recognized as a strength, a testament to resilience. Their RFW designation affirms their commitment to reducing stigma, creating open conversations around wellness, and supporting employees with dignity and respect.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is how closely it aligns with the organization’s long-standing values. They’ve always invested in people. Now, they’re deepening that investment by fostering a workplace where every individual has the opportunity to show up fully, thrive, and grow — not despite their journey, but because of the strength they’ve gained from it.

Rhode Island’s RFW network is powered by organizations just like this: leaders who understand that healthier workplaces create healthier communities.
