Kim LaMontagne - Empowering - Alcohol survivor - Adventurer - Support - Mental Illness

Send us Fan MailKim LaMontagne's conversation strayed into some interesting places. Her story of rising from a family stew of alcoholism to getting sober, along with signs to watch for is inspiring. Kim talks about becoming more fearless, how and why to set personal boundaries in a healthy way. How the face of failure is growth. She shared the bold move of selling everything, buying what is really a self-owned caravan, 60 feet long, to travel freely. She shares her perfect day in a way that may help you find yours. I think you will enjoy listening on her conversation with me. It is invigorating.

After suffering in silence in the workplace with anxiety, major depression, suicidal thoughts, and alcohol use disorder, Kim has found recovery and a life of true happiness.  A consistent top performer, Kim suffered alone in the workplace because of shame and fear of stigma.  Her professional performance never wavered, but inside she was broken, empty and on the verge of giving up.  On July 16, 2020, she celebrated 11 years of sobriety. Kim recognized her story was not unique and that leaders need solutions to help foster a mentally healthy workplace culture.  A culture where everyone feels safe enough to come forward and say - I’m not ok and I need help.  As a solution, she created the "4 Pillars of Creating and Sustaining a Mentally Healthy Workplace Culture."  Corporate training that teaches organizations how to: *Recognize the impact of mental illness in the workplace*Share the lived experience to bring the human connection to mental illness*Change the perception of mental illness and decrease stigma*Create an environment of safety in the workplace The training launches the Fall of 2020. I invite you to click the link for details, take an organizational well-being assessment, and book a consult.  https://mailchi.mp/36fcbe650b9e/4pillars Kim is a Speaker, State Trainer, Teacher, and Advocate with National Alliance on Mental Illness,  a Member of the Dartmouth Hitchcock Health System Campaign to Combat Stigma and Discrimination, and the USA Director of The Uncommon Woman International Chapters.   She speaks frequently at conferences, nursing grand rounds, is a visionary author for the book “It’s Ok to Not Be Ok” and a contributing author to the book “The Strength of Our Anchors.”
