The Northwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), in collaboration with the Mountain West AIDS & Education Training Center (MWAETC), is offering a unique virtual learning series designed to help those working with individuals affected by substance use disorders (SUD) to incorporate HIV prevention, especially HIV PrEP, into their lives as a component of recovery.
This series is tailored specifically for substance use treatment providers, counselors, and healthcare professionals in treatment settings, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to integrate PrEP counseling, referral, and/or prescribing into their practice..
Sessions cover a range of topics including the basics of PrEP, identifying who may benefit, addressing sexual health, available HIV PrEP options, discussing payment resources/billing, and more. By the end of this series, attendees will have gained practical skills in counseling, prescribing, and supporting clients with PrEP, enhancing their ability to provide comprehensive care to people with SUD.
Join us in making a difference in maintaining the health of your clients via HIV prevention and advancing your expertise in this essential area of care.
This series is intended for substance use treatment providers, counselors, and prescribers that work with or at treatment centers.
