Our fourth regional conference will provide cutting-edge information on issues related to HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and substance abuse. All outreach workers, substance abuse counselors, and other related healthcare personnel who work with the drug-addicted and HIV/AIDS/hepatitis population are encouraged to attend.
The conference will cover the seven Outreach Competencies developed by the Center for HIV, Hepatitis, and Addiction Training and Technology (CHHATT); an additional track will focus on the administration of these competencies.
The Seven Competencies are:
- Competency 1 - Understanding Outreach and Outreach in a Scientific Context
- Competency 2 - Understanding Chemical Dependency
- Competency 3 - Understanding Disease and Wellness in the Context of Drug Use
- Competency 4 - Engagement
- Competency 5 - Intervention
- Competency 6 - Client Support
- Competency 7 - Supporting Ourselves
The CHHATT addresses the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other infectious diseases in drug-using individuals. The CHHATT focuses on enhancing the professional development of outreach workers.
Attendees will find this an informative and interactive forum providing the most up-to-date information and techniques available in the field.
We have invited leading authorities who will speak on the topics of addiction and co-infection with HIV and Hepatitis C, Rapid-testing, improving efforts in working with hard-to reach and special populations, and much more.
