Informed Foundations: Building Peer Grief Support for Direct Service Providers
Gabriel Quaglia is the program manager for the Direct Service Provider (DSP) Program at SADOD and Peer Support Community Partners (PSCP). Daily, Quaglia navigates the terrain of grief that comes with facilitating harm reduction, overdose response, and community outreach. Grief can weigh heavily on those who care for vulnerable populations – a burden Quaglia knows all too well. His deep understanding of the challenges DSPs face and his experience in harm reduction have given him expert insight into peer grief support.
