Training
We feel that it is imperative to invest in local services and their staff by providing training on up to date information, as well as understanding the impact of living with HIV. This enables other services to provide better information support to people who use those services and creates purposeful information exchange and referral networks.If you think your services could benefit from the Sahir House Training Services, we will ensure that:
