HRSA Webcast: Training Peers to Support Clients in HIV Care and Treatment
The PEER Center and the Peer Education Training Sites invite all Ryan White grantees and individuals interested in learning more about training HIV-positive peers to provide HIV care and treatment to participate in the following HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau Conference Webcast:
Training Peers to Support Clients in HIV Care and Treatment
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 will give 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 will include speakers from three organizations:
- PEER Center, Boston, MA
- Women Organized to Respond to Life Threatening Disease (WORLD), Lotus Project, Oakland, CA
- PACT Project, New York, NY
