Task Forces

 

Consumer Input Task Force

The Consumer group seeks to train HIV positive individuals to be leaders in the community through advocacy and the planning of events and trainings, in order to educate and assist those infected with HIV/AIDS on a peer-associated level. It also seeks to increase participation in FCN activities at multiple levels, from the Task Forces to the Executive Committee.

Task Force Coordinator: Sonia Rastogi

Case Conference Task Force

Chair: Kathryn Ruiz

*Case Conference is every fourth Tuesday of the month

Orientation and Training Task Force

Task Force created to provide ongoing orientation to the FCN is needed, at least, for new clients of FCN services, new FCN staff at member agencies, agency staff who do not regularly work with FCN members, and new Executive Committee members.  In addition, through our Cultural Competency and SAMH Task Force work, we have identified the possibility of a need for future FCN-wide systematic trainings that cut across services and disciplines (for example: Harm Reduction). To this end, the Orientation and Training Task Force (OTTF) was formed to develop materials and processes that will be used by the Family Care Network staff, member agencies and consumers to systematically learn about the FCN, its services and agencies, and its policies and philosophies.

Chair: Alex Williams
