Capacity Building Assistance
Free trainings and technical assistance.
To end this epidemic, we have to build a better HIV workforce in the South, one that (1) practices cultural humility, (2) understands the factors that contribute to our epidemic; and (3) embraces innovative models and messages that reflect what it means to be living with HIV today.
We can help! The Southern AIDS Coalition provides trainings and technical assistance to community-based organizations, government agencies, and healthcare delivery entities across the South. And remember, all of our trainings and technical assistance are provided free of charge. All of our capacity building assistance moves from an initial evaluation to virtual training(s) to ongoing technical assistance (if needed) at no cost to you.
