Assessment Description
Prevention programs are essential to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. Locate one prevention program in your local community that addresses HIV/AIDS; you can locate this program through Internet research or by checking with local mental health agencies. The prevention program you select may include some of the following prevention topics: safe sex, needle exchange program, prevention for pregnant mothers, education, mental and physical health support, and testing.
Create a digital presentation of 8-10 slides (be sure to include slide notes) about the information you learned regarding the prevention program. Develop this presentation as if you were going to be presenting to professionals about the benefits and drawbacks of the program, at a professional development workshop.
The presentation should address the following for your selected prevention program:
- A description of the program (e.g., who facilitates it, and what is the targeted population)
- Information regarding the efficacy of the program
- Funding streams for the program (e.g., state, local, federal, and nonprofit)
- A description of how the prevention program could be a helpful resource to you, as the counselor, when working with clients
- A description of any educational prevention resources that are available to clients (e.g., pamphlets, seminars, and prophylactics)
A minimum of three scholarly sources to support your responses.
