SUMMARY:Uniting for Health: Engaging Latino/a/x Faith-Based Organizations in HIV Prevention
DESCRIPTION:In minority communities\, faith often unifies individuals across socioeconomic status\, educational levels\, and other social factors. In particular\, people look to faith leaders in their community with trust and respect. Secular organizations that address HIV prevention can share common goals with faith-based organizations (FBOs)\, and therefore it is important for secular organizations to work collaboratively with FBOs and faith leaders in order to reach people who are disproportionately affected by HIV. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Alive! Maryland and HealthHIV on Friday\, October 6\, 2023 at 1:00pm Eastern for a webinar that will discuss engagement with Latino/a/x faith groups and organizations. The faculty will give an overview of Latino/a/x-focused FBOs in Maryland\, explore the personal assessment process as well as the development of strategic religious engagement plans\, and provide various resources. Participants will also learn strategies for effectively forming mutually beneficial relationships with diverse Latino/a/x faith groups in order to further their HIV prevention work. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDefine Strategic Religious Engagement and other key terms inherent within diverse faith cultures\nList at least three prevalent faith groups within the Latinx community\nDiscuss common challenges at the intersection of Faith and HIV\nList at least three resources for ongoing engagement capacity development\nDevelop a Strategic Religious Engagement plan

DESCRIPTION:PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV\, yet PrEP use among Black women is very low. Barriers include lack of awareness\, negative experiences with providers\, lack of confidence that providers know about PrEP\, daily uptake\, and negative response from partners. \nJoin Alive! Maryland\, led by HealthHIV\, on Thursday\, October 5\, 2023 at 12:00pm Eastern for a webinar that will highlight HIV prevention among Black women at each stage of life\, including strategies for engagement and barriers to care. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the history of HIV prevention and Black women.\nDescribe key strategies for engaging Black women in HIV prevention at each stage of the lifespan.\nIdentify barriers to PrEP for Black women at each stage of the lifespan.\nDiscuss the impact of culture and medical mistrust on healthcare decisions for Black women.\n\nContinuing education credits are available for this webinar\, pending accreditation. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9IEaiXQvTJiKxoxWgdV2Jg#/registration
