The purpose of this agreement is to provide second year trainees in the

academic knowledge with application skills and attitudes at progres-
sively higher levels of performance requirements and responsibility.
Supervised field work experience is considered to be an integral part
of both the educational and professional preparation. As a teaching
hospital, Merrithew can provide the requisite field education, while at
the same time, taking advantage of the students' services to patients.
This program is expected to be of benefit to HIV impacted persons in
Contra Costa County by providing them with access to mental health
services. The participating trainees will learn case management
skills, develop an awareness of HIV resources in this County, and will
learn how to connect the client with the appropriate resources. They
will develop a working knowledge of the psychosocial issues facing the
HIV impacted individual and their significant others and will develop
skills to work with these issues within the therapeutic relationship.
The trainees will begin to understand how cross cultural issues and
substance abuse can influence both medical treatment and therapy and
will gain experience with dual diagnosis assessment and treatment.
This agreement is prepared in the standard format approved by County
Counsel 's Office and has been executed by the contractor.
