You work in a substance abuse treatment
center, detox center, halfway house, or other chemical health program
or social service agency in which you have HIV positive clients? The
staff in your agency may benefit from training on HIV, and indeed,
HIV education may be a licensing requirement for your staff. Give
the systems advocate a call to discuss your training and education
needs. |
