How We Work - Our Method
ACET is a
proactive voluntary sector agency that provides professional
HIV/AIDS Care, Education and Training services for the island of
Jersey. We go about our work in a number of ways:
-
We challenge complacency about the disease at a political and
personal level.
-
We provide practical and emotional support for people affected by
HIV and act as advocates on their behalf.
-
We educate young people about HIV/AIDS and teach them how to avoid
infection.
-
We provide parents with resources and support to help them teach
their own children about the issues associated with HIV/AIDS.
-
We educate
economic migrants and other minority groups about HIV/AIDS and
ensure they know how to avoid infection.
-
We help
employers understand the needs of workers affected by HIV and
support people living with HIV in the workplace.
-
We provide
training and seminars for employers, professionals and workers in
all the issues associated with HIV/AIDS.
-
We provide
education and training that dispels the fears that give rise to
prejudice, stigma and discrimination.
