This program is created by and for East and Southeast Asians living with HIV. To support and empower clients to cope and live with HIV. We improve clients’ quality of life by enhancing their knowledge and skills to facilitate self-care and to make positive changes in their lives.
To meet the unique needs of our clients, we collaborate with other ACAS programs and related community partners to deliver holistic and culturally appropriate services in a very confidential and private way. Some past events include educational retreats, seminars over dinner, accompaniment to doctors visits, language support, social gatherings and special projects.
This group is very diverse with all types of backgrounds and ages. To access any services or events we will have you do an intake with one of our Support Team staff who will sit down with you to see how we can help.
