REACHING OUT TO YOU

Outreach is a vital part of Whitman-Walker's services. Many potential clients do not have access to adequate health care or may feel reluctant to visit a widely known HIV/AIDS or GLBT health clinic.

That is why, in addition to our three Regional Centers, we have established a number of programs and services to reach our constituents.

The SMART Program is a CDC-funded, cooperative agreement to provide HIV/AIDS Prevention in Suburban Maryland, specifically targeting African- Americans in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. Services available to all populations include street and community outreach, HIV counseling and testing, prevention workshops, individual HIV risk reduction counseling, peer education training, support groups, and a speaker's bureau.

Our Advocacy area provides visitors with information on contacting elected officals in the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland and encouraging them to support Whitman-Walker, HIV/AIDS funding and GLBT equality.

We also provide Links to a number of HIV/AIDS and GLBT related sites.
