The goal of the workshop is to increase participants’ knowledge and offer practical experience regarding using social networks as a tool to recruit high risk populations into HIV prevention programs. Social network recruitment has been demonstrated to work among a range of ethnically diverse client and behavioral risk groups. The workshop presents supporting research, the six question framework for recruitment, and a chance for hands on practice in developing a social network recruitment strategy.
The goal of the workshop is to gain an understanding of the role of self-efficacy in prevention programs and the workplace. By understanding its function, participants will recognize how it influences every choice their clients make, how long they will persevere in the face of obstacles, and how resilient they’ll be in situations of adversity. Participants will:
- Have a better understanding of the original research into self-efficacy
- Identify four sources of self-efficacy
- Understand barriers to self-efficacy
- Understand the role of self-efficacy in prevention programs and the workplace.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss ways to increase self-efficacy both for clients and for themselves as providers.
In order to attend to the evolving needs of the delivery of HIV prevention programs, Accion Mutua/Shared Action created online courses to provide service-providers with knowledge and skills that are applicable to an array of prevention programs. These online courses are easily accessible and free of charge. These trainings are implemented in the course of five days requiring participants to log-on one hour a day. Participants are able to email their assigned homework or ask questions they might have to one of Accion Mutua/Shared Action’s staff.
