The African Network for the Care of Children Affected by AIDS (ANECCA) developed this Pocket Guide as a companion to the comprehensive Handbook on Counselling and Psychosocial Care for Children and Adolescents Affected by HIV; the Pocket Guide is a condensed version of the Handbook and is organized for on-the-job use. Like the Handbook, the Pocket Guide includes information on HIV clinical care; growth and development; mental health; child protection; counselling and communication; disclosure; loss, grief, and bereavement; adherence; sexual and reproductive health; transition of care; support systems; and monitoring and evaluation of psychosocial services.
