This timely webinar will explore how policy shifts can contribute to care disruptions, access challenges, and increased anxiety for both providers and patients. Participants will gain practical strategies to support continuity of care, strengthen patient engagement, and promote resilience in clinical and community-based HIV settings.
Objectives
- Identify and differentiate clinical markers of anticipatory anxiety associated with healthcare policy changes (e.g., Medicaid eligibility or Ryan White funding shifts) and analyze how these markers inform validation of client concerns while maintaining a stabilizing clinical presence.
- Apply communication and case navigation strategies to translate complex bureaucratic processes into sequenced, manageable micro-steps, thereby reducing cognitive overload for clients experiencing stress during insurance or program transitions.
- Co-create and evaluate individualized “Plan B” care maps with clients that integrate pharmaceutical assistance programs, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and peer support networks to ensure continuity of HIV treatment and mental health support amid uncertain legislative outcomes.
