If the cost of making zillions of copies of lengthy training handouts was not prohibitive, it would still be a rude move to chew up all those trees. This library is the invented solution to the problem, which is that Kendra generally has more to say about any particular training topic than the hosts of any particular event actually want to have photocopied. So additional handouts are posted here, so that you can view them at your convenience and print them out if they look useful.

Each of these files is in Adobe-readable PDF format. You should be able to download the files without opening them if you prefer - hover the mouse over the filename, right click, and select "Save As." Then specify where you want to stash the copy you are about to save onto your computer (try to pick someplace you'll remember and be able to find again).

HIV Confidentiality materials

521    Michigan Compiled Laws pertaining to HIV. (18 pages)

524    Privileged communications: Michigan statutes that define and limit the use of information disclosed by a patient or client to a professional, such as doctors, counselors and psychologists.

602    "Duty to Warn" article with a copy of Michigan Compiled Laws section 330.1946, an excerpt of the Mental Health Code. (Included because HIV does not give rise to a "duty to warn.")

9551    Michigan statutory will fill-in-the-blank form. 

9552    Designation of Patient Advocate fill-in-the-blank form. 

9553    Sample language for designating a patient advocate. 

HIV Confidentiality law.    Michigan's law, MCL 333.5131, that makes it illegal to talk about someone else's HIV status, positive or negative, without permission. Shush.

Materials for training event hosts. These are abbreviated versions of event handouts which should be photocopied for each audience member. Please note that the only materials currently posted are those for the next few events. If you've received an email asking you to come pick up a file for photocopying for your event and it is not listed below, you've just moved a little faster than we anticipated. Please check back in a few days, or call and tell us you are ready to download now. Thank you!
