Description: |
|
|
|
Project HANDI is a both a lecture and group
discussion seminar that enables people to understand people with disabilities.
The leader informs people on how to feel comfortable greeting and working with
people with disabilities and assists any professional with problems they might
have working with a disabled person.
Project HANDI's educational service is a model effecting public policies and
procedures in other agencies serving the disabled. Professionals in substance
abuse, personal support groups, community outreach agencies can benefit by
Project HANDI's guidance.
Project HANDI is not limited to issues surrounding HIV/AIDS. Hepatitis C virus
infected people have some of the same risk factors as HIV infected people and
face some of the same medical/psychological problems.
