Employment Support for People with HIV
On
HIV agencies often focus on employment services--for people with HIV as well as their staff. For patients/consumers, employment support is increasingly crucial given the disproportionate impact of HIV on lower income individuals, who are living long and hopefully productive lives given the effectiveness of HIV treatment and care. Support may include, for example, job training, hiring of peers to work with clients (e.g., peer educators, peer navigators), and support for individuals transitioning from correctional facilities.
See Program Management and the AETC NCRC Library for resources on workforce support on conducting services in new and innovative ways (e.g., via practice transformation training).
