Who offers case management trainings?

 

  
 

The Centers of Expertise in Case Management offer advanced case management trainings, while the Regional Training Centers statewide offer the introductory “core” case management courses that all case management employees should take.  Trainings offered are subject to change, based on training needs assessments and provider input.  Please check with the current training calendar for upcoming courses and topics.

 

Regional Training Centers offer the following “core” case management courses as each region’s need dictates:

·         HIV Disclosure – Deciding Who & When to Tell

·         Introduction to Case Management

·         Enhancing The Partnership Between Client & Case Manager

·         Serving Families: From Assessments to Service Plans

·         Addressing Prevention in HIV Case Management

Prerequisites for “core” case management courses:

Although there are no prerequisites for these courses, it is strongly suggested that participants have previous training in HIV confidentiality and basic HIV/AIDS medical information.

 

Target Audience:

All health and human service providers including:

 

·         Direct-service staff

 

·         Case Managers

 

·         Supervisors

 

·         Program Directors 

Centers of Expertise in Case Management create new training curricula as provider needs arise.  Previous training calendars have offered the following training topics:

·         Building a COBRA Case Management Team

·         Death, Dying & Bereavement

·         Establishing Boundaries & Recognizing Countertransference in Everyday Case Management

·         Every Word Counts: Improving Documentation Skills for Case Managers

·         Managing HIV as a Long Term Illness

·         Personal Safety for Case Managers

·         Psychosocial Issues for Women Living with HIV

·         HIV Family Centered Case Management

·         Supervision & Leadership for Case Management Programs

·         Working with Children & Adolescents in HIV Affected Families 

·         Assessing Sexual Risk

·         Interdisciplinary Case Conferencing

·         COBRA Case Management Billing Practices

Prerequisites for “advanced” case management courses:

Because these are advanced case management trainings, it is strongly suggested that participants have taken “Introduction to Case Management,” “Enhancing the Partnership between Client and Case Manager” and “Serving Families: From Assessments to Service Plans.”  These trainings are meant to enhance case manager skills and should not be viewed as foundation training for new staff entering the field.  

Target Audience:

All health and human service providers including:

·         Case Managers and Case Management Technicians in both COBRA and grant-funded programs

·         Supervisors (including Clinical Case Managers)

·         Program Directors
