First Responder Wellness Summit: Caring for Ourselves During the Overdose Crisis

First responders regularly face complex, high-impact situations that can take a toll over time, particularly as calls around substance use and drug overdose have increased. This can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, feelings of moral injury, and other stress related to the demands of the job. This free one-day summit brings together professionals from law enforcement, fire, EMS, corrections, co-response teams, dispatch, and peer support to explore how to strengthen first responder well-being amidst the current drug overdose crisis and in their lives more broadly. Through a keynote presentation, panels, and interactive discussions, participants will hear from first responders and people in recovery and learn practical tools and strategies that support first responder well-being. The day is focused on helping those who care for our communities also care for themselves, their colleagues, and their teams. More details, speakers, and registration information coming soon!
