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.

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?
