Earn Your SOLHA Certification at NCSWH!

Become a certified leader in supporting older adults living with HIV/AIDS through the Social Work with Older Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (SOLHA) Certification—a one-of-a-kind training experience available only at the National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS.  

 This certification program is designed to equip social workers and allied professionals with specialized, trauma-informed, and person-centered skills to address the complex needs of aging individuals living with HIV/AIDS. 

Whether seeking to deepen your expertise, grow in your current role, or add a targeted credential to your resume, the SOLHA Certification provides both practical tools and a powerful professional network. 

 For a one-time certification fee of $350, participants gain access to: 

Pre-Conference Workshop (Required – Half Day) 

• 101 SOLHA Foundations 
• 101 SOLHA Health 
• 101 SOLHA Mental Health 

Required Breakout Sessions During the Conference 

• 101 SOLHA Person-In-Environment (PIE) 
• 101 SOLHA Stigma and Belonging 

Online Components 

• After each session, participants complete a knowledge assessment and reflective practice assignment using the MemberLeap learning portal. 
• All participants receive a guided tutorial on how to use the platform. 

Final Wrap-Up Session  

• A 1-hour in-person session to review key concepts and finalize certification requirements. m.

The SOLHA Certification track is intentionally designed to fit within your conference schedule. Complete the required sessions first, and then enjoy the rest of the conference—your certification progress stays on track. 

You’ll also join a cohort of peers, allowing for shared learning, collaboration, and connection with others committed to compassionate, competent care for older adults living with HIV. 

 The SOLHA Certification is only available once a year—and only through attendance at the National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS. If you missed the full track this year or want to recommend it to a colleague, be sure to register early for next year’s conference to reserve your spot in the certification cohort. 

This is more than a training—it's a commitment to excellence in serving older adults living with HIV/AIDS.
