A short training on case management for social workers of the Kyiv city branch of All-Ukrainian Network of people living with HIV/AIDS was held on Friday, September 2, 2016 by Iryna Nerubaieva, Project Manager of AFEW-Ukraine.

During the session, participants were able to improve their knowledge on organization of the processes of case management. In particular, they managed to explore required and existing resources of the social worker, the needs of the clients and ways to meet them using a set of case management tools. Building an effective partnership network and clients’ referral system were another important component of the training.

Let us remind you that case management is an efficient and effective approach used in HIV prevention programmes. AFEW-Ukraine recommends case management as the key approach to get access to the necessary medical, legal and other services for such vulnerable to HIV populations as drug users, sex workers, prisoners and others.

The training aimed to support growth and development of the employees in the framework of cooperation between ICF “AIDS Foundation East-West” (AFEW-Ukraine) and Kyiv city branch of All-Ukrainian Network of people living with HIV/AIDS.
