SO Int Conf AIDS. 1994 Aug 7-12;10(1):397 (abstract no. PD0194). Unique
Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370545
AB OBJECTIVE: Our goals are to present through STANDUP Harlem's HIV
supportive community a model of self-help, peer-oriented professionally
supported communal residence and initiatives. The model is composed of a
nieghborhood traige, community AIDS care center and holistic supportive
services. METHOD: All subjects of our presentation are clients of
STANDUP Harlem who are prisoners, homeless, addicted or in early
recovery living with AIDS who are presently receiving support and
housing at STANDUP Harlem. All subjects are referred to as participants
taken from our clients in residence and others from the wider community
who receive additional services or attend our support groups. Statistics
received are taken from intake forms, contact sheets and psychosocial
assessment instruments. RESULTS: 1) Reduced relapse, 2) reduced barriers
such as access to primary care, and 3) reduced chemical and systematic
dependency. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: STANDUP is culturally appropriate
using extended family values and traditional healing and
self-empowerment by presenting options and alternatives.
