Amid a Mental Health Crisis, Restaurants Are Prioritizing Staff Well-Being | Eater
"Founded in 2016 by Steven Palmer to break the stigma around addiction in hospitality, this support network offers peer-led meetings for restaurant professionals struggling with substance abuse; it has grown to chapters in a dozen cities, and new chapters in Louisville, Kansas City, and Washington, D.C. each drew more than 30 people to their first meetings. Meetings create a safe space where cooks, bartenders, and chefs can relate to shared shift pressures and combat the loneliness of sobriety in the industry." - Carolyn Alburger
