1. Examined additional HIV/AIDS in<strong>for</strong>mational resources available <strong>for</strong> their<br />

referral during calls<br />

2. Reviewed HIV/AIDS services to which they can refer callers <strong>for</strong> additional<br />

help<br />

SESSION NOTES<br />

RESOURCES AND REFERRALS<br />

Counsellors need to have adequate resources to consult if they do not know the<br />

answer to a question posed by a client. These resources can consist of both<br />

printed materials (brochures, books, articles, etc.) and people (such as medical<br />

experts who can be contacted to answer questions). Examples of resources<br />

include the following (others can be added):<br />

• Book: HIV <strong>Health</strong> & Your Community, A Guide <strong>for</strong> Action by Reuben<br />

Granich, M.D., M.P.H.; Jonathan Mermin, M.D.., M.P.H.<br />

♦ HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention<br />

♦ HIV/AIDS treatment options<br />

♦ Opportunistic infections<br />

♦ Sexually Transmitted Infections<br />

♦ Condom use<br />

♦ Home-based care<br />

♦ Universal precautions<br />

♦ HIV/AIDS statistics (epidemiological in<strong>for</strong>mation)<br />
