This highly interactive, one-day IN-PERSON training will examine factors in which people are born, work, live, play, pray, and age known as social determinants of health (SDH) and how they relate to HIV-related disparities.
Participants will examine social and structural factors like racism, gender identity, economic status, housing, education, and stigma that impact patients and communities in accessing HIV care and prevention services.
Attendees will be introduced to approaches and strategies in which they will learn to identify the SDH in their communities, increase health equities, and improve health outcomes for people with HIV.
Please note that registration is free but will be limited to ensure an ideal training environment. Register by Friday, September 15 at 5pm.
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
