Substance misuse costs the US Economy $740 billion annually. Businesses and communities bear this cost in lost productivity, absenteeism, turnover, accidents, theft, healthcare, insurance, and compliance costs.
Over 70% of illicit users are in full or part-time employment and most users don’t seek help for their problem leading to suffering in families and communities – the main reason for this silence is STIGMA.
The missing piece surrounding addiction is a safe and proactive conversation.
Learn how you can become a Certified Addiction Awareness Facilitator and have IMMEDIATE and POSITIVE IMPACT in your workplace or community.
A Sample of Jesse Harless Signature Experiences
This event focuses on building a support team. High point stories are shared of when the participant was a positive influence in another person’s life. Next, we uncover the success factors that enabled this story to happen. This is followed by a group activity to co-shape and design their ideal support team. Each participant creates a plan of action at the end.

This event focuses on the power of resilience. We start by journaling a story of overcoming adversity. Participants use their stories to uncover the individual and collective strengths of the group. Next, groups work together to co-create an empowering statement of resilience. The participants then create an action plan that incorporates their resilience and strengths.
Examples of Resilience Affirmations Created During Workshop:
“What I can’t do alone, we can do together.”
“No matter how many times we fall, we get back up.”
“We are motivated, persistent, determined, and courageous about our recovery.”
“We as a team embody a lot of the same, which gives us a fighting chance at a new life.”
“We are proud and courageous determined to take care of ourselves and our sobriety.”
“We resilient women are committed to evolving with creative and loving instincts to overcome addiction with kindness and empathy to transform chaos into serenity.”
This event focuses on building an ideal self-care routine. The group works together to uncover moments of health and wellness. This is followed by writing down self-care actions relating to the mind, body, and spirit. Next, groups are assigned to crowdsource what an ideal self-care routine would look like. The final activity is each participant creates their own daily self-care routine.
“Self-care is not selfish.”

“I had not even realized how disconnected I had been feeling from other people. I have had super low energy, but this sparked energy in my mind and body. It felt so supportive and I cannot believe I got the sense of connection that I did from a virtual meeting.”
“Connecting in breakout rooms – hearing others stories and seeing the strengths in each of us and tapping into those within myself. Thank you so much for reminding and connecting us!”
“It’s encouraging and hopeful to look back to a point in our lives that was good. It helps me realize some of the positive qualities we might have forgotten through our use. This experience also helps us build goals to create the future we want.”
