The GW Resiliency & Well-being Center will hold a Peer Training Session for the Care for the Caregiver Program (CFC) from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 15, 2026, in person or you can attend a virtual session from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET via Zoom on Monday, January 26, 2026, for GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences (SMHS) and Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) faculty and staff.
The program trains you to identify colleagues and others in need of support, provide brief counseling, and link to additional EAP resources. After this training, you as a Peer Caregiver, will be able to conduct brief (20 to 30 minutes) conversation sessions with colleagues and others in distress to help support them and potentially guide them towards further support resources.
