Capacity Building 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.

The Southern AIDS Coalition provides trainings and technical assistance to community-based organizations, government agencies, and healthcare delivery entities across the South.

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.

Stigma and HIV: This workshop aims to define stigma as well as facilitate discussion around understanding the diverse forms of stigma and how it presents in organizational settings. Additionally, the workshop seeks to examine the drivers of stigma, generate a personalized understanding of stigma, and assist in the eradication of stigmatizing practices in HIV service delivery. This training is mandatory for Southern AIDS Coalition Transformative Grant Partners.

Cultural Humility: "Identity, Dynamics, and Strategies": This training aims to describe how the dynamics of identity, perception, and perspective shape culture as well as impact workplace interaction and service delivery. This training will develop participant skills to deliver client-centered services with cultural competence and humility in order to support access to and continuous engagement in HIV prevention and care services.
