In this training, participants will learn to identify signs and symptoms that may suggest alcohol-related impairment in the healthcare workplace. Effective, nonjudgmental, and empathetic communication strategies essential for addressing concerns of impairment will be discussed. This training will also review valuable resources available to support healthcare professionals with an alcohol use disorder. The goal of this training is to enhance workplace awareness of alcohol impaired practice and foster a culture of support and wellness among healthcare teams.
