Stability in Uncertain Times: Strengthening HIV Prevention Through Peer Workforce Investment
Virtual Event
September 17 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT
This webinar is designed to guide those in leadership roles within HIV/STI as well as harm reduction focused organizations to recruit, retain, and develop peers as part of an effective public health prevention workforce. Too often, organizations with the best intentions hire peers without a framework for success which leads to high turnover, peer dissatisfaction, and a depletion of already scarce resources. However, by understanding the value of peers, including them in programming, and integrating them into existing staff culture using evidence-based strategies, leaders can ensure longevity within their teams and greater health outcomes for their clients.
Learning Objectives
- Identify how to recruit, train and retain a peer workforce.
- Describe the various needs of peers through the lens of supervision
- Demonstrate ways to empower and increase the value of peers in your organization
- Explore challenges which may arise with engaging and employing peers
