This article dt'scribes and recommends a participatory method of developing, implementing, and evaluating a learner-driv~n community-based continuing education effort for HIV workers and supervisors. The Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) created and delivered a training program in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Public Heaith HIV/ AIDS Bureau (the Bureau). Because teaching empowerment-based practice was an overarching goal, every step of the process modeled collaboration and self-determination. The program was unusual in several ways: the worksnops focused on basic helping skills rather than the medical aspects of HIV; community stakeholders shaped the workshops in consulution with staff from the Bureau and BUSSW; a formative evaluation led to adaptations of the curriculum in the first few months of the project; objectives were set in part by learners, who evaluated themselves on goal attainment; and follow-up interviews explored the effects of the workshops on practice. Most supervisors and direct care workers reported that the workshops were highly relevant to their work and that they were able to incorporate their learning into practice, suggesting that the empowerment approach has utility. The report includes the genesis and necessity of the project; the principles underpinning it; the use of empowerment at each stage; and implications for administrators, service providers, and educators in the HIV field.
