Pathfinder International is pleased to announce the publication of a new, comprehensive trainer's guide and participant's manual for community health workers, Community Home-Based Care for People and Communities Living with HIV/AIDS:
A Comprehensive Training Course for Community Health Workers and Community Home-Based Care for People and Communities Living with HIV/AIDS: A Handbook for Сommunity Health Workers.
This pretested, peer-reviewed curriculum provides the knowledge and skills necessary for community health workers to holistically care for people living with HIV/AIDS, train primary caregivers and clients, and mobilize communities around HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support. The trainer's guide uses simple language and emphasizes participatory learning that does not require high literacy levels of participants. Unit topics include HIV basics, communication skills, nursing care, nutrition, positive living, family planning, HIV prevention, antiretroviral therapy, and community mobilization among many others. The companion handbook can be used as a reference during care and as an aid in training clients and primary caregivers.
