HRSA Webcast: Training peers to support clients in HIV care and treatment

Thursday, December 9, 2010
2:00 – 3:30 PM ET
As the role of peers in HIV care and treatment has become increasingly valuable, so has the need for comprehensive training materials. The PEER Center and the Peer Education Training Sites have developed a toolkit, Building Blocks to Peer Success, to assist trainers and program directors in planning a peer training for newly hired peers or providing continuing education for existing peers. This Webcast gives participants an overview of the content and organization of the toolkit as well as a brief introduction on how to use the toolkit to plan and organize training. The Webcast includes the following speakers:

Bill Bower, Peer Advanced Competency Training Project (PACT), Columbia University New York, NY
John Ruiz, Justice Resource Institute/PEER Center, Boston, MA
Carol Tobias, Boston University School of Public Health/PEER Center, Boston MA
