Session Description:
The Mpowerment project is an evidence‐based health promotion program developed at UCSF and implemented in dozens of communities throughout the United States to reduce incidence of HIV. The social focus of the program provides new social opportunities for youth and helps build trust to promote deeper engagement and behaviour change at the community level. The core principles of the program can be used in a variety of contexts, including work with aboriginal communities, gay and bisexual male youth, and other groups.
