Description
Professionals working in HIV/AIDS care often do deeply meaningful work while navigating recurring barriers, complex systems, patient disengagement and re-engagement, and outcomes that can feel frustratingly slow. This interactive workshop is designed specifically for multidisciplinary HIV/AIDS care teams. It helps HIV care professionals recognize incremental progress, challenge discouraging team narratives, and reconnect with the significance of their work without minimizing the structural barriers that shape patient engagement and continuity of care. Using HIV care-specific scenarios, reflection, and team dialogue, participants examine how the stories teams tell about recurring challenges influence morale, collaboration, and persistence — and leave with practical tools for sustaining meaning while pursuing stronger outcomes across the HIV care continuum.
