| Care and support initiatives are often inhibited because of difficulties associated with reaching or staying in touch with geographically isolated and shifting populations, lack of psycho-social supports for survivors and lack of collaboration between and among organizations of PLWHAs. This session looks at ways to overcome such challenges in order to provide care and support. Specifically, the presentations will discuss: challenges associated with follow-up care to isolated and moving populations; the importance of psycho-social supports to AIDS orphans and other members who are in need of care; and difficulties associated with organizations that, acting alone, find it difficult to provide adequate levels of care and support. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to (1) understand the rural health delivery mission in rural settings; (2) identify ways to help biological parents with HIV and foster caregivers to better serve children’s psycho-social needs and (3) understand the effectiveness of collaboration and exchange between networks of PLWHA networks. | |||
