The Vermont Department of Health’s
Agency of Human Services has provided a $45,000 grant to the Twin States
Network for their CLEAR project, which provides one-on-one counseling for
HIV-infected Vermont residents.
CLEAR (Choose Life: Empowerment,
Action, Results!) is a CDC intervention program with specific set goals,
including developing daily routines that will optimize physical and mental
health in partnership with medical providers; addressing substance abuse; and
developing consistent ways to practice safe sex. One-on-one counseling sessions
for individuals occur with a trained service/registered mental health provider
and can be in person, by telephone, or via Skype.
The CLEAR sessions are from six to
28 visits long, depending on goals set by the client and provider.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
