We invite you to join AIDS United for a conversation exploring the ways that syringe services are making a difference in the intersecting challenges facing marginalized communities in the United States.
Join us on Feb. 16 at 12 p.m. EST for “Serving People Where They Are: Strengthening the Social Safety Net through Syringe Services Programs.”
During this two-hour institute, participants will:
Learn more about issues that intersect with substance use, including mental/behavioral health, reproductive health, homelessness, and economic security.
Understand the role that syringe services programs play in U.S. healthcare.
Hear from leaders of three syringe services programs operating in the U.S.
Engage in dialogue with leaders supporting this critical work, including AIDS United, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Comer Family Foundation, Elton John AIDS Foundation, and Levi Strauss Foundation.
People do not live single-issue lives. As funders, service providers and policymakers dedicated to improving health outcomes in the United States, we have an obligation to identify and support innovative strategies that seek to support people in all aspects of their lives.
Registration for this conversation is now open. Be sure to check out our incredible lineup of speakers, including:
Anne Aslett, Global Chief Executive Officer, Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Daniel Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Levi Strauss Foundation.
Jonathan "Jono" Mermin, MD, MPH, Director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Jesse Milan Jr., JD, President & CEO, AIDS United.
