Course Description:

One of the most dangerous aspects of calls involving drugs is dealing with unknowns. Over the last decade, manufacturing and distribution of synthetic drugs has created extreme hazards for first responders, officers and home health care workers. If you cannot “recognize a hazard, you can’t protect yourself”. This training is designed for all public safety and health professionals who come in contact with subjects, enter residences (i.e. search warrants, probation checks, medical and fire calls) or conduct investigations. This course will also address specific hazards associated with manufacturing controlled substances (i.e. fentanyl, counterfeit tablets). This course primarily addresses officer and home health care professional safety and hazard assessment.

*Will contain graphic content*

As long as humans have engaged in war, moral injury has existed. Over the years, moral injury has taken on many names, including soldier’s heart, shell shock, battle fatigue, and most recently, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. While some symptoms of moral injury overlap with PTSD, it is important to understand that moral injury and PTSD are not the same thing, and diagnosing moral injury as PTSD can result in a missed opportunity to help a veteran in need of healing. In this workshop, you will hear firsthand veteran accounts of combat exposure, the resulting trauma symptoms and injuries to the soul, and the difference between treatment and healing. With at least 20 veterans taking their lives every day, it is time to address moral injury as one of the root causes of veteran suicide.

*Recommended for LMSW beginning, intermediate, and advanced skill levels
