Author:

Section/SPIG: HIV/AIDS

Issue Date:

Metropolitan Interdenominational Church Technical Assistance Network is a faith-based, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National HIV Prevention Capacity Building Provider whose goal is to advance HIV prevention by providing capacity-building assistance that strengthens the capacity of African American community leaders and stakeholders to increase access, use and availability of HIV prevention resources and testing for at-risk African Americans. This is accomplished by providing training on an adapted version of the Communication for Social Change Model, specifically targeting African American clergy, social/service/civic leaders, higher education personnel, and governmental and non-governmental HIV service providers to develop partnerships that encourage community dialogue and collective action leading to sustained ministries, programs or activities that increase access and voluntary use of HIV prevention and testing services in under-served and high-risk communities.

The skills building training is no-charge. For more information please contact Jacqueline Fleming Hampton, PhD, at jhampton@metropolitanfrc.com or (615) 277-1762.
