OBJECTIVE
Support After a Death by Overdose (SADOD), a statewide overdose grief organization, facilitated a grief group with frontline POST program workers. During this discussion, a hypothetical outreach scenario was presented where the outreach team unexpectedly encountered grieving family members. The objectives of the discussion were to learn how to: 1) appropriately respond to someone who is experiencing acute grief, 2) provide appropriate resources to grieving family members, and 3) manage grief from secondary trauma experienced by outreach workers engaged in this work. A template for hosting a grief scenario is included in the toolkit, as well as information on how to attend weekly grief groups for outreach workers hosted by SADOD.
