The L.I.F.E. Program®
The L.I.F.E. Program® is based on the strategies and behaviors that long term survivors use to maintain and improve immune system functioning and health. Longterm survival can be learned. This program focuses on peer support and bonding and emphasizes making contact and lasting connections with other HIV+ individuals. Example: Self-Assertiveness leads to increased strength and numbers of Natural Killer Cells, which destroy HIV-infected body cells. Since 1991 the L.I.F.E. Program® has reached thousands of individuals. TPAN is proud to become the 18th L.I.F.E. site in the country. The course begins January 24th. We meet every Monday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Call Derek today and enroll: (773) 989-9400 ext: 234. TEAM
The TEAM core training is an 18-hour education training that teaches all about HIV in a class room setting here at TPAN. The approach consists of providing extensive treatment and prevention education, training and support for HIV-positive clients and individuals impacted by HIV and those at high risk. TEAM focuses on successful management of HIV disease, through early diagnosis and secondary prevention and adherence training. All clients of TPAN are offered the TEAM core training. In the past 5 years over 500 people have gone through the training. After TEAM participants complete the training, continuing education is offered through monthly Committed to Living TEAM updates where invited industry professionals and guest speakers bring new and cutting edge HIV treatment and psychosocial information in an interactive forum. TEAM programs are jointly funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Chicago Community Trust, and Lloyd Fry Foundation. Contact Derek (d.worley@tpan.com) at (773)989-9400 ext 236 for information and to see if you qualify for registration. A limited number of spaces are available TEAM Dates 2010
