Education

Our public funding is geared specifically toward services for the highest-risk populations. Tests and information provided to lower-risk individuals are supported solely by fundraising. We regularly receive phone calls from schools, community organizations and other providers requesting basic HIV information and training.

In 2006, staff and members of our speakers' bureau provided almost 70 hours of community education services. We consider this an important part of our work, to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and eliminate barriers for people who want to know how to protect themselves.

Community HIV education is available to schools, community organizations, religious groups and other agencies. Frannie Peabody Center provides a comprehensive presentation to increase community awareness that includes health promotion, information, counseling and testing services. We will work with you to adapt the presentation to meet the needs of your organization/school.
