Dave Argus of Karas & Karas Glass and Cal Beyer of SAFE Workplaces discussed recovery-safe workplaces at the Main Stage.

Argus and Beyer say that providing a safe and welcoming workplace for recovering addicts is the key to eliminating the stigma around addiction. Karas & Karas Glass is one such workplace.

Employees and brother Jared and Devon Hesek courageously shared their stories of battling addiction and how working for Karas & Karas helped them through a rough time in their life.

"These guys gave me a chance to do something with my life. I'm grateful for that everyday. Programs like theirs breaks the stigma that is you make a couple of mistakes in your life then you're done," Jared says. “They came to my celebrations, treated me with respect and gave me no special treatment.”

Devon says to speak up, because it could save your life.

At GlassBuild, we took the “No Shame Pledge” to stop the stigma. Will you?
