Project staff refers to other services in several ways.
(1) In instances when
the outreach staff encounter individuals from the target population(s)
who seek primary medical care, HIV counseling and testing, mental
health and substance abuse services, and other social services
the person is given information (telephone numbers) about how
to access the services being sought
(2) In situations when the Project staff is able to meet regularly
at a set location, each staff person has a resources manual, and
is able to provide detailed information about how to access services
(3) The prevention staff is able to both provide referrals to
other services and be available to assist the client in linking
with the services being sought.
