We are excited to announce an upcoming event hosted by Emergency Health Services Federation that aims to equip EMS responders with the tools and knowledge to combat substance use disorder stigma and address compassion fatigue. This essential training session is a part of their ongoing efforts to support the EMS community and ensure they have the resources needed to provide the best care possible.
EMS responders often face the brunt of the opioid crisis and other substance use-related emergencies. This exposure can lead to compassion fatigue, a condition where caregivers become emotionally and physically exhausted. This event aims to provide EMS professionals with the training and support they need to handle these situations with renewed empathy and understanding.
If you are an EMS responder – don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your skills and support your community. Scan the QR code on the flyer to register for the event or register here.
Together, we can reduce stigma, improve care, and support the resilience of our EMS responders.
