Scaling New Media in People of Color Communities
Today we call our readers attention to three new videos released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Living Affected Corporation has been at the forefront of engaging as well as seeking to further harness the power of social media. As an organization, it has been our mission to explore various platforms, while experimenting with creative prevention messaging to continue to address the issues of HIV and AIDS infections within communities of color. This blog site was launched in 2012 as apart of strategy to widen our appraoch through both old and new media, plus seeking to enhance "a digital interaction and or experience" for our readers. We encourage readers to share their stories, comments and or offer their own expertise as we move forward with upgrading and formatting all our online platforms.
Living Affected Participtes in Regional Conference
Jefferson
Comprehensive Care System, Inc. (JCCSI) will be hosting their 5th
Regional HIV/AIDS Conference in Arkansas, March 7-8, 2013. The
conference will discuss the unique epidemic of HIV/AIDS in the South amongst
youth, gay Black men and communities of color. The conference will feature Paul
K. Halverson, Director and State Health Officier of the Arkansas Department of
Health and Patricia Nalls, Founder and Director of the Women's Collective of
Washington, D.C. The two day event will also feature a planned schedule of
topics ranging from substance abuse to HIV policy issues.
Founder and CEO, Diedra Levi, will lead a workshop on Consumers and Advocacy, in which she will highlight key elements necessary in advocating for high impact prevention programming. Also the significance of understanding the impact of stakeholders sharing their lived experiences with policy and law makers.
JCCSI was awarded a grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for the Part D program in August 1999. Part D is unique from other HRSA funded programs because our focus is on women, infants, children, and youth (WICY) and their families who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. As part of our commitment to fulfill the goals of Part D, we have begun planning for this monumental occasion to take place on March 7-8, 2013. The theme for the conference is entitled, “Uniting In The Fight To End HIV/AIDS.”
