The Women’s Program Working with women through community-building, education and interventions to achieve awareness of HIV and build capacity for safer sex. Communicating honestly, clearly, and accurately, our staff and volunteers address the myths and promote the facts about HIV/AIDS and the rewards of practicing safer sex behaviors.We offer support, training, and leadership skills for individuals in building healthier communities through the following opportunities: Safe Talk: Exclusively for women, these are informal gatherings held in women’s homes and at community agencies where trained facilitators guide discussions about HIV risk-reduction techniques and help to build prevention skills. Role Model Stories: Success stories from women and men about their experiences in adopting safer sex behaviors towards prevention of HIV/AIDS. These stories are printed and shared with others within the community. Peer Outreach Network: A specially trained team of community members conducts street and on-site outreach in our community and at community events. Community Network: A network of businesses, agencies, and organizations who support our goal by displaying role model stories and other HIV prevention materials, and by co-sponsoring program events.
