Hepatitis C Peer Educators Train-the-Trainer Workshop

Hepatitis C Peer Educators Train-the-Trainer Workshop Friday October 15: 6-9pm Saturday and Sunday October 16&17: 10-4pm

Breakfast and Lunch Provided

We are pleased to announce the first peer educator's train-the-trainer workshop of the 2004-2005 project. This workshop is designed to provide in-depth peer education training to youth.

In addition to the information of Hepatitis C 101 and 202, this workshop provides skills in effective listening, communication, facilitation and support.

The workshop also addresses social issues such as poverty, street-involvement, incarceration,
drug use and stigma.

Upon completion of this workshop, the participants will have the skills to provide peer education and support around Hepatitis C and related issues to their peers, and will be provided with a certificate
of completion. They will also have the options of continuing volunteer
training at YouthCO by completing the Core Training, which will enable them to become YouthCO volunteers if they so choose.

We would like to extend this wonderful training opportunity to the youth you work with at your organizations and agencies. We also welcome the opportunity to come to your organization/agency and host an info session for potential participants.

During these sessions we can effectively answer any questions and provide a "sampler" of the types of activities and discussions
that will be a part of the training.

The training will take place at YouthCO's offices, suite 205 - 1104 Hornby St. We will be providing breakfast and lunch, and covering transportation costs (bus tickets) to youth travelling here.

Please feel free to contact Caitlin Padgett or Brandy Svendson at YouthCO if you or the youth you work with have any questions or wish to register. We can be reached at 604.688.1441 or via e-mail brandys@youthco.org,
