The Canadian Housing First Network, the Provincial System Support Program, and the Housing First Europe Hub will host the International Housing First Webinar Series.

The presenters will discuss the following topics:

– The importance of self-awareness for all Housing First workers when supporting vulnerable people. Learn about one worker’s experience, the impact of vicarious trauma among all Housing First workers, the importance of quality supervision to ensure a positive sense of well-being in the workplace, and the benefits of facilitated debrief following a challenging situation.

Presenter: Carol Mc Loughlin

– Housing First, Workplace Mental Health, and the Quadruple Aim. Learn about the findings from two national mixed-methods studies on workplace mental health and work-related challenges among service providers working in Housing First, supportive housing, and other homeless service programs in Canada. You’ll also hear about a theoretical model called “systems trauma” and how structurally-influenced work challenges affect the well-being of service providers. The value of the Quadruple Aim in guiding future policy and research will be discussed.

Presenter: Nick Kerman
