Trauma-Informed Care Counseling: Trauma-informed care within the Ryan White Program recognizes the prevalence of trauma in the lives of individuals living with HIV and ensures that care is provided in a sensitive and understanding manner. This approach helps individuals feel safe, supported, and empowered in their treatment, acknowledging the impact of past experiences without re-traumatizing them. It includes understanding trauma's effects on mental health, incorporating empathy, and fostering resilience.
Medication management helps individuals access life-saving mental health medications, manage symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and more.
