education & training

As part of our mission, CHEST staff offer in-services tailored to the needs of AIDS service organizations (ASOs) and other agencies serving our community. CHEST in-services provide your staff with up-to-date scientific and research information, presented in a manner that makes it engaging and accessible for staff at all levels. Each in-service ends with a discussion of the implications of the information presented for client services and programs, as well as specific strategies that can be used to put this information into practice.
