This dynamic educational program focuses on reducing the risk of HIV/AIDS infection for individuals and groups who may be at an increased risk for sexually transmitted infections. Healthy choices and lifestyles are highlighted as this program is regularly presented to all substance abuse treatment groups at TCN Behavioral Health Services. Individuals and groups in Greene and Clark counties are invited to utilize this invaluable prevention tool which includes free HIV testing, support group, educational classes, workshops, and individual consulting.

In cooperation with the Greene County Combined Health District, the Positive Living Program offers free HIV testing to clients of TCN Behavioral Health Services and others in the community. Testing is completely anonymous with every precaution taken to safeguard privacy.

Positive Living provides superior training for social services professionals and peer educators on college campuses through the Rural HIV Collaborative's Annual Conference. For more details, please contact Rev. Richard Young.

Persons living with HIV/AIDS face unique challenges. Healing Circle is a support group specifically designed to address these needs and support the individual. In addition to support, members receive beneficial information on support services in the HIV-positive community through a monthly newsletter call Around the Healing Circle, which Positive Living publishes. Healing Circle meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.

Many people find themselves in periods of need at one point or another. Our case management services may be able to help you with lifestyle support and assistance with minor expenses. Please contact Rev. Richard Young to determine what assistance you may qualify for.
