The Social service of the Centre hospitalier de l’université de Montréal (CHUM) is holding its second Symposium on Social Work and HIV/AIDS , June 14 - 15, 2012. The event will take place at the Rousselot Auditorium of the Notre-Dame hospital in Montréal.
This year we decided to expand and invite our colleagues from Québec and Canada, to join us and share your experiences on evidence-based practices with people living with HIV/AIDS.
A meet and greet cocktail will be held on Thursday, June 14; from 5 to 8 p.m. This will be a great opportunity to get acquainted and chat with colleagues from different parts of Canada.
Thursday and Friday’s schedule will be from 8 h 30 to 4 h 30 p.m. Eleven conferences of 50 minutes each will be presented, followed by a ten minute question period.
These conferences are opened to all professions working with or interested by the problematic of HIV/AIDS.
The symposium’s objective is to:
- Promote a network of Social Workers from all parts of Canada, who work with people living with HIV/AIDS.
- Share our experiences on evidence-based psychosocial interventions specific to each setting.
- Explore the effectiveness and the ethical aspects of the new means of HIV prevention (Preexposure prophylaxis).
