Healthy Living (Living Positive)
Goal: To provide PWHA with the necessary tools to assist newly diagnosed women, women with children and men into treatment and care. By matching newly diagnosed PLWHA with a person who is already living positive allows for a series of support activities to be triggered. These include: engaging family and loved ones in care and support; addressing stigma, discrimination and disclosure; and getting to know individuals needs - health, economic, family and children and human right issues.
Objectives:
· Provide support to newly diagnosed persons.
· Match newly diagnosed PLWHA needs with the appropriate services.
· Identify major crisis – provide help and support.
· Provide referrals.
· Document - What has happened? What are the needs? What needs aren’t being met? Who can mediate with families? (Etc).
· Advocate for needs based on documentation.
