Chamber Member Meeting - October 2026

October 6, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Hope at Work: Recovery, Resilience & Supporting Your People

Addiction and recovery touch more workplaces, families and communities than we may realize. But knowing how to respond, support an employee or even start the conversation isn't always easy.

Join us for a powerful and practical conversation with Stefanie Robinson, Founding Executive Director of Hope Recovery Community. Drawing from 18 years of personal recovery and more than a decade of leadership in the recovery field, Stefanie brings both lived experience and professional expertise to a topic that impacts all of us.

Stefanie will share pieces of her own journey and what she has learned through her work with individuals, families, businesses and communities. She'll also introduce the Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative, which helps employers better understand addiction and recovery and provides consultation, training and resources to support employees while building healthier workplace cultures.

During this presentation, attendees will:

• Gain a better understanding of addiction, recovery and the impact they can have in the workplace
• Learn how stigma can create barriers for employees seeking help
• Explore ways employers and leaders can better support employees affected by addiction and recovery
• Learn about the Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative and resources available to businesses
• Walk away with practical ideas for creating a supportive, recovery-friendly workplace culture

This isn't just a conversation for HR professionals. It's for business owners, managers, supervisors and anyone who leads or works alongside people.

Because supporting your people is good for your people, your workplace and our community.


Speaker Bio:

Stefanie Robinson is the Founding Executive Director of Hope Recovery Community (HRC) in Medina, Ohio, a peer-led Recovery Community Organization she founded in 2018. Under her leadership, HRC has grown from a grassroots effort into a comprehensive recovery organization providing peer support, recovery housing, workforce development, re-entry services, family support, youth programming, and innovative community-based recovery initiatives.

With 18 years of personal recovery and more than a decade of peer support leadership, Stefanie's work extends well beyond Medina County. She serves on the OneOhio Foundation Expert Panel and has held state and national leadership roles with the National Peer Recovery Alliance (NPRA) and Ohio Citizen Advocates for Addiction Recovery (OCAAR). She travels to Washington, D.C. multiple times each year, working alongside national leaders and advocates to advance peer support, recovery-oriented systems of care, and policies that elevate the role of lived experience.

Stefanie is recognized nationally for her expertise in Recovery Community Organizations, peer-led services, recovery-oriented systems of care, and non-stigmatizing language. The model developed through Hope Recovery Community has gained attention beyond Ohio, with communities and organizations looking to HRC's approach as a replicable model for building locally driven recovery ecosystems.

Her leadership has been recognized with the Cleveland Clinic Medina County Community Service Award, Medina County ADAMH Board Recovery Advocate of the Year, OhioGuidestone Regional MVP, OneStep Peer Supporter of the Year, State of Ohio Champion of Recovery Cares Award, and ATHENA Leadership Award. In 2026, Stefanie and Hope Recovery Community were also named the Ohio START Community Partner of the Year for their work in the child welfare space.

Stefanie is married with two children and two dogs. Outside of work, her favorite places to be are with her family—on a soccer field or at a rodeo.
