Group Programs
ACT offers group-based programs for people living with HIV, those concerned about their risk for HIV, as well as groups related to mental health and substance use.
ACT offers a wide range of group-based programs. Some of these are support groups, some of these are more educational in nature. We offer groups specifically for people living with HIV, for those concerned about their risk of HIV, as well as groups that focus on mental health or substance use.
