About This CE Course

This CE course will help therapists increase their professional knowledge related to HIV/AIDS and will enhance the therapist’s skills and application in practice. The CE course will not only increase the therapist’s knowledge of the virus and the disease, it will explore HIV/AIDS stigma which affects prevention, treatment and services. This course includes nine client scenarios that bring together essential HIV/AIDS knowledge, ethical and legal issues, therapy strategies, resources, and appropriate referrals. The CE course also includes personal stories of persons with HIV/AIDS to help the therapist better understand the human being with HIV/AIDS. This course provides 7 hours of CE.  The course fulfills the BBS first renewal requirement. https://www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/forms/cechart.pdf

The instructor is Jocelyn Archer, RN, B.A.N, M.Div. Ms. Archer has been involved in the HIV epidemic since 1986. As an AIDS Nurse Clinician and Case Manager at a major University Medical Center, she supported and coordinated care for hundreds of HIV/AIDS patients as they progressed through their illnesses. She also tested and counseled hundreds of HIV positive individuals. Ms. Archer co-authored three major AIDS research articles—one published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. She functioned as a clinical research nurse coordinating studies for the Center for Disease Control, the University of Minnesota, the National Hemophilia Foundation and the Minnesota Department of Health. One such study evaluated if appropriate services were available for HIV/AIDS patients and if they could access services. As an advocate for persons living with HIV/AIDS and the LGBTQ community, Ms. Archer did extensive public speaking and used her knowledge to combat AIDS hysteria early in the epidemic. She continues to enjoy public speaking and works to help decrease the negative stigmatization associated with HIV/AIDS. Ms. Archer has held several administrative positions in the health care setting, including Director of Clinical Services, Director of Quality and Director of Education.
