Prevention & Health Education
The vision of the Prevention & Health Education Program is to prevent HIV infection and to educate people at risk about HIV/AIDS and how to protect themselves. We realize that people are vulnerable to HIV infection for a variety of reasons, including substance abuse, mental health issues, family situations, and economic necessities. We strive to incorporate HIV prevention into a person's "whole life" and meet them where they are at.
With your support, we:
  • Provide HIV counseling and testing, both on-site and in the community
  • Work with local churches to provide case management and counseling services for people with substance abuse problems
  • Conduct workshops on partner communication and ways to prevent HIV
  • Form community partnerships to link clients to needed social services
