COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS, INC. PRESENTS...

The 29th Annual National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS

ENDING HIV/AIDS THROUGH SOCIAL JUSTICE: HEALTH EQUITY FOR ALL!

MAY 25-28, 2017

HYATT REGENCY | 265 PEACHTREE ST, NE | ATLANTA, GA

The National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS is an annual event, founded in 1988, that typically draws more than 500 HIV/AIDS-care social workers and service providers from across the country and from many nations abroad. For this year's 2017 conference, we are traveling back to the Southern region and being hosted by the beautiful city of Atlanta, GA. Many communities throughout the country have achieved success in fighting HIV/AIDS. However, the Southern region of the U.S. is experiencing an unprecedented increase in HIV cases; which is why it is fitting for us to convene this year's conference in the heart of the South.

In the words of John F. Kennedy, “If not us, who? If not now, when?" HIV/AIDS is not just a health issue…it is a social justice issue laced with traces of poverty, racism, homophobia, stigma, social isolation, fear, and the list goes on. Now is the time to have the next phase of conversations that lead to actions that address the complexity of not just treating and managing HIV/AIDS, but ending this preventable disease!

Some of the topics to be covered will be: Best Practices, Trauma Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Health Literacy, Adherence and Self Care. The Medical Case Management Certificate is available upon completion of additional online trainings to be offered in the post-conference period. Note: as you probably are already aware, those who register for the Institute will limit their choices of many other conference sessions they will be able to attend.
