SADOD (Support After Death by Overdose) DSP program was created out of a need to offer grief support to the workforce impacted by substance use loss/suicide. SADOD’s DSP programming serves the community of providers such as recovery coaches\, harm reduction staff\, nurses\, residential\, MOUD program staff and more\, by way of providing free monthly peer grief support groups and workshops via zoom. SADOD’s DSP workshops are developed and facilitated by DSP peers\, covering topics related to grief /loss & resiliency while providing peers an opportunity to discuss these topics in community. \n\nSADOD also provides free peer grief services to the general community offering 1:1 peer grief support as well as specialty virtual and in person peer grief support groups. Learn about all of SADOD’s community peer grief services which may be supportive resources for your loved ones\, co-workers/staff and communities you are working with who might be grieving. You will be provided with information on how the DSP program can work with your organization\, as well as the referral processes for the 1:1 peer grief services for the general community.
