Afternoon everyone! Due to additional request for this training we provided at Soin, we are scheduling another session with Dr. Yeager at Kettering Medical Center on March 27th. Please see attached.
This is a FREE Event for Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement, Nurses, and Physicians. FIRST addresses burnout, resilience, and vicarious trauma to hospitals hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. FIRST training is provided by a national expert on resilience and trauma-informed care who has worked extensively with hospital
medical staffs, police, and other first responders.
Speaker: Kenneth R. Yeager, PhD
Kenneth R. Yeager, PhD, is a clinical professor in the College of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. He
