About this Event
Built on two decades of experience working with public safety agencies and deep knowledge of the research base, the SHIELD curriculum is practice-driven and solutions-focused. It fills major training gaps, giving first responders the tools they need to be safer, healthier, and more effective in these crises.
This program from the SHIELD Training Initiative will provide first responders and departments with operational strategies and best practices to use in responding to the overdose crisis in order to:
- Protect first responders from occupational health and safety risks
- Expand first responders' toolbox to help them respond more effectively to the public safety challenges of substance-use related encounters
- Improve job satisfaction by offering strategies to reduce first responder stress and burnout by taskshifting to specialized community resources
- Reduce addiction and related crime in the community
