These activities increase the ability of social workers and direct front-line service providers to respond effectively and improve social work services for individuals with and affected by HIV/AIDS through the Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS (MHCPE) Program for Social Workers. The anticipated period of performance for this contract is a base period of 12-months, plus four (4) 12-month option periods. The purpose of this contract is to provide training and education to social workers, who directly provide services and care for people with and affected by HIV/AIDS, prioritizing the areas of highest HIV/AIDS prevalence nationwide and areas with emerging needs.

Comprehensive education and training to social workers across the country includes development and use of a national network of expert social worker trained-trainers, engaging social workers as trainers and trainees, provision of ‘trainer-training", training utilizing social workers as expert-trainers, in-person training, and training by social workers through virtual training methods (i.e., webinar), and providing access to continuing education (CE) credits. The contractor provides data reporting using the SAMHSA/CMHS MHCPE OMB-approved Participant Feedback Forms to evaluate training, with training satisfaction required on average 90% satisfactory.
