Facilitating Disclosure with Children in HIV/AIDS-Impacted Families
Wednesday, March 22, 2006

Kimberly Harris, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
Women & Children HIV Program, The CORE Center
Cook County Hospital
Chicago, IL

This presentation will focus on practical preparation for direct service providers working with families disclosing health status information to HIV-impacted children. Dr. Harris will present a method of disclosure responsive to the medical, socio-emotional, and developmental needs of children who have families impacted by HIV/AIDS, as well as those who are themselves HIV-positive. Participants can expect to learn a process that charts predictable HIV disclosure challenges and empowers caregivers and their children.
