ETR's Program in Action
ETR Associates is funded under two Capacity-Building Assistance
categories:
- Preventing HIV Infections: Youth in Juvenile Justice Facilities and/or
Alternative Schools.
- Providing Professional Development for DASH Funded NGOs.
For
Preventing HIV Infections: Youth in Juvenile Justice Facilities
and Alternative Schools, ETR is
- Providing capacity building assistance for juvenile justice staff
through its Survive Outside project,
which offers trainings and follow-up support on counseling, video
discussion groups and evidence-based curricula.
- Promoting the dissemination of science-based HIV prevention
interventions that are relevant and culturally appropriate for youth in
the juvenile justice system, including Cuidaté (an adaptation of Be
Proud! Be Responsible for Latino youth) and an adaptation of
Street Smart tailored for youth in juvenile justice.
- Conducting additional post-training assistance to Survive Outside
trainees to enhance the effective implementation of selected
interventions and to increase collaboration with local community
planning groups (CPGs), probation officers, and faith-based
organizations.
- Educating parents and guardians of youth in the participating
juvenile correction facilities about HIV and the potential role adults
have in helping reduce their youths’ risks for HIV.
- Assessing the impact of the Survive Outside project's
capacity-building and training activities by monitoring the
implementation of HIV interventions in juvenile justice facilities.
For Providing Professional Development for DASH funded NGOs, ETR is
- Determining the professional development needs of DASH-funded NGOs
through a variety of mechanisms and in collaboration and consultation
with the Rocky Mountain Center for Health Promotion and
Education/Professional Development Partnership (RMC/PDP) and other NGOs.
- Developing a long-term plan to address the identified professional
development and training needs.
- Conducting professional development activities, such as training
events, post-training web discussion forums, and materials archives, to
build the capacity of other NGOs funded by DASH so that they may more
effectively work with their constituents—teachers, parents, leaders of
youth-serving organizations, school board members, and health service
providers.
- Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the Professional
Development Training Project to determine its impact on the capacity of
DASH-funded NGOs to strengthen their constituencies’ abilities to
implement programs designed to reduce health risk behaviors among youth.
