PATH (Peer Advanced Training in Harm Reduction) to Reducing Burnout Among Peers Who Deliver Harm Reduction Services (R61 Phase Pilot)

The investigators propose to develop and test the effectiveness of PATH (Peer Advanced Training in Harm reduction) as an educational workforce intervention for improving peer recovery support specialists' (PRSS) harm reduction (HR) service delivery ability and quality and as a PRSS workforce and service system support. The PATH intervention combines (a) virtual education and (b) case-based consultation. The investigators hypothesize that PATH will improve organizational-level PRSS burnout, additional workforce outcomes, and HR service quality.

The goal of this intervention program is to provide the feasibility of a culturally adapted version of the SOLAR program among mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) workers who provide psychological or psychosocial support to the survivors of the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce psychological distress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 2. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce secondary traumatic stress at the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test? 3. Will the SOLAR Group Program reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms at the post-test and follow-up compared to pre-test? Participants will be asked to sign a consent form. Upon accepting it, they will fill out: * a demographic form, * the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), * Assessment of Suicidal Thoughts for the screening. Before the SOLAR intervention program, participants will be asked to complete: * the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), * Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), * the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) if they approve participation in these surveys. After collecting their pre-test scores, they will receive the SOLAR intervention program. During the program, they will be asked to participate in each session, lasting 5 weeks. After the program, they will be asked to participate process evaluation interview.
