The Peer Program brings hope and a safe environment for personal support to individuals who have just received the news of an HIV diagnosis, which can be traumatic and an unexpected event in an individual’s life. Peers understand the challenges and barriers individuals face in managing a new diagnosis, sticking to or returning to treatment, and navigating the healthcare system. Your health is of the utmost importance; Peers offer the necessary tools and resources through individual, group educational sessions and skills-building opportunities to successfully engage and empower individuals through this life-altering medical condition and to manage this chronic disease.
Treatment Adherence groups meet on the fourth Thursday each month. Meetings in November and December will be determined based on holiday schedules.
Contact us at 816.753.5144 ext.9613 to learn more about Peers or make a referral for services.
