For YOUR Workplace and Community
We’re here to help your community - whether at work, school, or elsewhere - experience less shame, blame, and stigma around the struggles we all face so that we might improve the way we show up for ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Keynote Packages include a one-hour deep dive with your organization so that Of Substance can learn your objectives, desired outcomes, & organizational culture in order to tailor the experience to best serve your audience and needs.

1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness in a given year, and because most employees are not seeking treatment, employers are losing an estimated $225.8 billion annually due to stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
We know that organizations are providing phenomenal resources for employees struggling these days. But they aren’t helpful if they’re not being used due to remaining shame we have to admit we’re struggling. Of Substance’s experience eases that shame and improves employee use of said resources.

Our programming for students and faculty focuses on prevention and emotional growth, improving empathy and compassion.
We also drive forward a goal to improve the way we all feel about ourselves — diminishing shame and improving our mindset — in order to face life, the world, and all struggles with less fear and more wonder.

There’s a lot of pressure on athletes to show up for their teammates, be constantly in the public eye, and be relied upon by family and friends. That’s already several good reasons to find coping skills, from bad to good, from substances to gambling, and more.
