Your people are already living this. The question is whether your workplace is ready.
I’m Candace Alley — a speaker, trainer, and consultant who helps organizations build workplaces where recovery, grief, and mental health stop being career-limiting secrets.
I bring two things into a room that rarely arrive together: a decade of credentialed clinical and coaching practice, and lived experience of the thing I’m teaching about. That combination is why leadership teams stay in their seats and why frontline employees actually believe it.
In September 2026 I spoke at the White House on Recovery Friendly Workplaces. What I do with your organization is that same work, built for your people and your policies.
“From a Dope House, to THE White House.”
How I work with organizations
Keynotes and speaking. Recovery-friendly workplaces. Grief and sudden traumatic loss at work. Resilience after adversity. Built for conferences, leadership summits, and all-hands events — and calibrated to the room, not delivered off a shelf.
Training and facilitation. Certified Facilitator in Addiction Awareness (CFAA). Recovery Friendly Workplace 101. Trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practice for managers, HR, and peer supporters. Half-day through multi-session formats.
Consulting and advisory. Policy that holds up in practice, peer support structures, suicide prevention and postvention planning, and the culture work that decides whether any of it survives the first hard case.
Speaking on short notice. If something has happened at your organization and you need someone in front of your people this week, say so when you reach out.
Credentialed, certified, and nationally recognized
Let’s talk about your organization
Most of the people who contact me are somewhere between “we know we have a problem” and “we don’t know what to ask for.” That’s a fine place to start. Tell me what’s happening and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person for it.
