Teaching and motivating people to avoid liver-damaging activities is central to HFI's mission. It's also an obligation for all of us who work with IV drug abusers and patients with HIV and HCV. That's because, for too many years, the liver has been the "missing link" in most drug/hepatitis prevention and intervention programs. The good news is that it has been conclusively shown that informed individuals-including youth - are more motivated to modify liver-threatening behaviors.

The Hepatitis Foundation International provides Train-the-Trainer programs for counselors, teachers, nurses, and others working in hepatitis prevention and rehabilitation programs. Call (800) 891-0707 and ask about our one- to three-hour sessions.

We include simple but memorable messages about the liver as a "non-complaining organ" and how viruses kill liver cells are "eye openers" – analogies shown to be effective in motivating people to avoid liver-damaging activities. In addition, a new, fast-paced youth-targeted video, "Give Your Liver A Break" is also shown in the session. Many physicians, nurses, counselors and addicts - many experts claim it's the best they've ever seen.

We look forward to working with you to add this important component to your current efforts to help bring viral hepatitis under control and reduce the incidence of substance abuse. Give us a call at (800) 891-0707 anytime.

"Give Your Liver A Break" video, other up-to-date teaching tools, and printed information on all types of viral hepatitis for all ages are all available in our Education Section.
