Description
In this training, participants will learn a simple and effective tool for case-management and referral making. We will discuss each part of the STAR Model and why each step is a critical when making referrals, particularly for stigmatized healthcare service, like abortion. Participants will be given the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned and receive real-time feedback from the facilitator and their peers.
