WCWVT specializes in workplace safety, health, and wellness, with a focus on Overdose Prevention and Suicide Prevention. While many companies continue to be concerned with compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, these same companies have also realized that the wellness of their employees plays a major factor in morale, retention, and injury/illness prevention. Whether it’s preparing for an OSHA/MSHA inspection, conducting an in-house safety inspection, hosting employee training, or building communication or problem solving skills within a team or group, we’re here to help and support you as you reach the next level within your companies and communities.

Over the past 18 months, this partnership has grown to include other member-based organizations, including the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and the Vermont Ski Area Association (Ski Vermont), distributing more than 18,000 doses of Narcan, 10,000 gun locks and suicide prevention materials, and more than 5000 harm reduction kits across the state. Recently, this partnership was recognized nationally as an American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) 2024 Power Gold Award winner.
