Training: HIV Meds and Street Drugs & Outreach to Crack and Methamphetamine Users
Thursday, June 25th, 10am-4pm
Prevention Works!
2501 Benning Rd NE
Spaces are limited! To reserve a slot, please an email to Mary Beth Levin, Director of Programs and Services (mlevin@preventionworksdc.org).
This is the fourth in our series of monthly trainings facilitated by technical experts from the Harm Reduction Coalition in New York. The description is as follows:
HIV Meds and Street Drugs
In this current “abstinence only” culture, there has been minimal research conducted on how street drugs and HIV medications interact. This course will take an honest look at how ecstasy, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines can potentially have a negative interaction with HIV/AIDS medications. This course is a must for HIV/AIDS case managers!
Outreach to Crack and Methamphetamine Users
This workshop will demonstrate and discuss the techniques for working with crack and meth users, a community of people traditionally neglected by service agencies. This workshop will focus on specific outreach tools, materials, and harm reduction tactics that have been successful with this “hard to reach” population. Attendees will leave this training with practical ideas and skills that they can apply to their own setting and the people they work with.
