About the course
Course description
Impairment does not always wear a label—and in healthcare, missing the signs can have serious consequences. This course helps participants spot subtle and obvious signs of impairment in colleagues, from substance use to burnout and mental health struggles, and respond with confidence, compassion, and professionalism.
Participants learn how to recognize behavioral and performance-related red flags, understand reporting responsibilities, and respond appropriately while maintaining a supportive and legally compliant environment. Real-world scenarios and evidence-based strategies promote a culture of safety, accountability, and compassion.
