FYI I am talking to Callen Lorde about a paid training the HOTT program in October. It would cover safety planning and provider strategies for communicating about transactional sex.

Hi Jessi and Rosie,
Just wanted to drop you a quick line and let you know I reached out to my contact at Streetwise and Safe and will let you know asap what they say to doing a joint training in October.
Thanks again for reaching out! Looking forward to speaking further.
Best
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I apologize for the extremely late response. I'm back in town and have spoken more with my department about how they'd like to proceed. Everyone (including me) thinks the training sounds great! Is it possible to hold it on an upcoming Wed at noon here at HOTT? We have our team meetings weekly during that time and all of the case managers, nursing staff, mental health providers, and medical providers will be there.The only other thing would be to put you in contact with my director, who is up to speed on everything and would like to talk to you more about details. Her name is Rosie Arocho and she's asked that you call her at 212-271-7214 or email rar...@callen-lorde.org .Thank you so much for your willingness and patience. I look forward to learning more about how to grow as a sex worker ally!
Happy Friday,
Jessi Colla
PS- On a more personal note, I'm going to begin CVTC training this Oct. to become an emergency room advocate for sexual assault survivors. During my NYC policy research I came across the articles you wrote for RH Reality Check (I knew the byline looked familiar). They were both really informative and well-written. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for getting back to me! Either the training or informal chat sound great. I'm currently out of town, but when I return on the 12th I'll ask the team what they think and definitely get back to you!
Thanks Again!

There are a few different components that can be added/subtracted as needed for the group, depending on knowledge and comfort level (I know the HOTT program is more educated on these subjects than most). It does focus on cultural competency, but it also focuses on how to modify your approach for greater harm reduction and has helpful tips for providers and case managers. The peer support and tips you are talking about are things we discuss in our own programming, and I'd be happy to talk with you about what we do.We generally charge $150-250 sliding scale an hour, depending on the capacity of the organization, to cover our costs and allow peers to lead the training and get paid. It sounds like you would like something more informal, however. Perhaps we can chat further about something that will mutually benefit our organizations.Best--Sarah Elspeth Patterson, M.Ed."Can we build healing movements that can include us as we actually are, rather than as the people we are supposed to be?"- Andrea Smith---------- Forwarded message ----------

To: in...@persisthealthproject.orgHello!
I'm Jessi Colla, Health Educator here at Callen Lorde's HOTT (Health Outreach to Teens) Program. We're interested in learning more about appropriate community org's or healthcare centers to refer our patients in the sex trade to, should they request services we don't provide. As a healthcare center that specializes in LGBTQ health, we have a particular interest in referral agencies that meet those needs, as well.
Are your workshops primarily geared toward cultural competency, or is it possible to also focus on these resource questions,how to connect an interested patient with peers, and reliable safety/legal tips to provide (particularly for trans*-identified sex workers)?
That might be a long list. We hold our weekly HOTT team meetings for case workers, medical providers, and staff every Wed 12-1pm. If it's possible to arrange a workshop or informal conversation sometime in mid August, it would be appreciated!
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions!
