Debriefing in DSP work: Resources for Managers, Supervisors and Co-workers – SADOD Workshop

Please join us Friday February 20th, 2026 10am – 12pm EST for the Debriefing in DSP work: Resources for Managers, Supervisors and Co-workers training. Direct Service Providers working in the overdose crisis are often faced with countless, varied situations where debriefing with the team, an individual staff, or co worker is necessary. From responding to an overdose on outreach or de-escalating a situation in the office, through supporting a team during staffing transitions or managing interpersonal conflict, the debrief and check in may require a different approach given the individuals involved or unique situation. This training will discuss tools and resources available that lend a deeper approach to supporting a debrief, or even a less formal check in/check out. The audience for this training is anyone working in direct service. Training Objectives:

• Explain the importance of debriefing in direct service work
• Identify different situations where a debriefing or checking in/out could be helpful
• Discuss and assess your current methods used for debriefing/checking in with your team, staff and co-workers
• Learn about different resources and methods available for use to help guide new and alternative ways of facilitating a debriefing session
