Faith-based Leaders Get Educated about HIV/AIDS 
Members of Baton Rouge AIDS Society’s Faith-Based AIDS Coalition for Technical assistance and Services (FACTS) recently attended an educational retreat, where they received first-hand, professional training on tackling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. There were 16 churches and faith-based agencies that attended the retreat which, was held on Gulfport, Mississippi from May 31 – June 4, 2010. The participating agencies represented various parishes, such as East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension, Tangipahoa, and Point Coupee. The training topics included: Bridging Theory and Practice/Applying Behavioral Theory to HIV/STD Prevention, Small Group Facilitation, and How to Conduct Home Health Parties. The FACTS members are expected to take the information learned and utilize it in their respective communities.
