esilience is “an ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever,” according to Psychology Today. But what we also know about resilience is that it is a group activity: people who succeed in the face of trauma and difficulty do so with the support of friends, families, and communities: a magical web of humanity, a circle of caring. Now more than ever we are relying on each other to build and sustain resilience. Over the past year, we have witnessed significant threats to the social and political achievements of LGBTQ communities. Our LGBTQ and HIV-affected neighbors worry about being stripped of their entitlements, just as they struggle with advancing age, food shortages, and housing insecurities, not to mention HIV and increased threats of violence against LGBTQ people. And the assaults continue with a tax bill that foreshadows cuts to crucial health and human service programs, the strategic censorship of words such as “diversity,” “transgender, “ “vulnerable,” and “science-based,” concepts that lie at the heart of AHP’s mission, and the loss of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, a fierce advocate and a champion of public health funding whose policies and actions protected critical programs that would have failed with cuts to federal funding. Our civic leaders have ensured that the San Francisco Department of Public Health plays a major role in building that magical web of support, of fueling that resilience. Likewise, our state and federal legislators and funders have stood with us when the going was tough. Now more than ever, it is crucial to recognize the important role government plays and the people who populate government with integrity, compassion, and grit. If the circle of caring begins with our clients—their resilience as much as their need fuels our motivation to build programs to support them—it extends back to them from you, through us. We each play a part, each secure a point on the circle, each anchor a filament of the web. For that we are so grateful. The sum is not greater than the parts; it is dependent on the parts. But the resilience that lies in each of us becomes communal in a way that none of us ever imagines. We thank you for being a part of our community.  l

Shepherding Clients Toward Zero

Community Mental Health Training at AHP

If the phrase “case manager” conjures an image of a desk wardfacing worker managing an endless caseload of destitute people, then you are entertaining a myth. AHP case managers are actively in the community, connecting and saving lives. Case managers reach out and serve clients, on the streets, in clients’ homes, and sitting next to clients at AHP’s Services Center. They assess a client’s needs and ensure that those needs do not become barriers. If San Francisco’s pioneering Getting to Zero campaign is going to work, it’s because case managers are

Each year for nearly 25 years, AHP has invited postgraduate students, folks who have been trained to be mental health professionals and whose training requires additional frontline experience, to join our clinical staff as “clinical interns.” This rich history of imparting valuable guidance and skills has ensured that these new therapists can provide members of the HIV and LGBTQ community the most culturally competent care. In 2017, AHP won a new grant that broadens our reach into the hearts and minds of budding mental health professionals. Seed funding from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development is enabling us to recruit and train a diverse group of community members—people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, consumers of mental health services, and people with disabilities—who want to learn more about a career in community mental health. Participants in AHP’s new Training Program for Community Mental Health, beginning in 2018, will engage in twelve weeks of trainings in areas such as traumainformed care, recovery, harm reduction, and mental health treatment. The trainees will receive regular supervision from the program coordinator—long-time AHP clinician, Claudia Figallo, MPH —and guidance on the various opportunities in the field. Participants will also receive support and mentoring from our clinical trainees. Recruiting potential mental health professionals from the communities they will serve and nurturing them with guidance, mentorship, and knowledge, will increase the likelihood that the field will be responsive to the broad diversity of clients who need community mental health services. It will reduce stigma, ensure high-quality care, and increase wellness for LGBTQ and HIV-affected consumers of mental health services. That is, after all, AHP’s mission.  l

on the frontlines getting clients into HIV care and helping clients to: identify barriers—drug use, homelessness, stigma, mental illness, and poverty—challenges that influence them to “fall out of care”; identify resources to resolve those barriers; schedule, get to, and navigate appointments; and access additional resources, for example, mental health treatment, substance use support, housing, and legal services. Chris Saito, AHP’s Behavioral Health Psychiatric Supervisor, puts it succinctly: “Our goal is to make case managers obsolete because everyone is in care.” The case manager is a life-saving bridge between the client and the services that can carry that client beyond the obstacles that impede them. According to Saito, half the job is finding people who have no address, no phone and no email. The other half is building non-judgmental, trusting, consistent relationships with clients, thereby constructing a container in which clients get to make choices—to be the arbiters of their own care—supported in that process by an informed and compassionate staff. It’s fitting that AHP’s supplementary support group for this group of clients is called Home Base. The group is just another way that AHP’s case managers ensure that the chain of support does not break until the clients achieve their goals. As Saito put it, the majority of our clients ‘graduate’ out of AHP case management, “because their lives have been transformed.”  l

Supporting the mental health and wellness of the LGBTQ and HIVaffected communities in constructing healthy and meaningful lives.


AHP Services—Serving the LGBTQ and HIV Communities Accessing Services Most of AHP’s services, except for HIV testing and drop-in support groups, require an intake appointment. For more info, contact us at 415-476-3902. Drop in Monday through Friday from 9 am to 11 am or by phone Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 11 am. To get more information on all of our programs go to AHP’s homepage: ucsf-ahp.org

HIV is personal for longtime AHP volunteer Michael Kinney. Diagnosed with HIV in 1984, the very early days of the epidemic, Kinney turned to his friends for support. He discovered that many were also facing similar symptoms, uncertainties, and fears. That experience—the need for and the power of support—informed his decision to join AHP. Kinney became a peer support group facilitator, ensuring that each week, clients have a safe place to talk, listen, and connect to others. Kinney says he is “blown away” by the knowledge and capacity of people in his group: “I’m always learning something new,” whether it is “practical” or “profound.” But mostly, Kinney adds, “It feels good to know that I’m able to do something.”  l

Mental Health and Substance Use Help People Help Themselves. Individual and group support, immediate intervention for people in crisis, and psychiatric assessment and medications management. Most mental health and support services are free; some have income or insurance status limits. Meet Folks Where They Are. “Harm reduction”—individual substance use counseling, case management, and group support—creates a constructive and effective setting for addressing mental health and substance use concerns.

HIV and STD Prevention

Support Groups and Wellness Workshops

Know Yourself, Know Your Status, Know Your Community. HIV and STD testing empowers people with information. Drop in five days a week at 1930 Market Street and twice a week on Castro Street at AHP’s mobile van. For appointments, go to “Make Your HIV Test Appointment” on AHP’s homepage, or call 415-502-TEST (8378) from 11 am to 4:30 pm, Tuesday through Friday. To find our van, see twitter: @502Test. AHP also provides clean syringes to people who inject drugs and runs one of the city’s new PrEP navigation programs, helping people assess whether PrEP is right for them and, if so, access it.

Connect People Together. Support and therapy groups help people build community and address mental health and wellness topics together. Groups vary in the number of weeks they last and in their target audience. Some focus on specific populations or topics. Feel Better Than Ever. AHP also uses the power of community to promote a world of well-being through workshops and forums on both LGBTQ and HIV-related topics.

Training and Research Build Knowledge and Capacity. AHP trains HIV test counselors, mental health and substance abuse professionals, and staff from agencies seeking to foster a wellinformed, client-centered, culturally competent, stigma-free environment. Discover While Serving. Doing HIV and LGBTQ work leads AHP staff to recognize gaps and develop ideas for filling them. AHP researches new approaches to HIV prevention and LGBTQ mental health.

Volunteer Spotlight: Michael Kinney

Stories of 2016–2017 The Kindness of Friends 2017 was another banner year for Art for AIDS! 700 people came together to support AHP. Together, we raised $348,900 to help clients receive no cost mental health care. But the money was only half the story: each artist, volunteer, donor, food and beverage sponsor, staff member—each friend—gave us a piece of themselves. We asked and you answered. Thank you!

Volunteer Spotlight: Jessie Bie

The Little Screen Features PCC

Jessie Bie has no memory of what happened or how he got to the hospital the fateful night that lead to his AIDS diagnosis, but his friends tell him they had to break into his apartment to rescue him when he became confused and nonsensical on the phone. Diagnosed with PML, an often-fatal opportunistic infection, Bie was lucky to have had his friend’s intervene and save his life. As a gay man of Filipino heritage, family and community are critical to him. The drama of learning he had PML caused Bie to reach out to his family. Though being “out” was rocky at first, they eventually got over their phobias and back to supporting and loving their son. Bie says that his relationship with his parents has improved now that he is no longer keeping this big secret from them. Once his physical health improved Bie enrolled in individual therapy at AHP. When that was over he joined AHP’s Strong and Proud support group for people who have gone through trauma, a place that allowed him to talk about his queerness and his identity in a safe space with others who shared their triumphs and struggles together. With support from AHP, Bie got back on an HIV antiviral treatment regimen, which returned to him the energy and zest for life that is his nature, best expressed in his mode of transportation—razor scooter— and his vocation: dancing with the Steamroller Dance Company. Bie now attends an ongoing group for HIV long-term survivors at AHP. He looks to the other group members for guidance and connection and a shared reality.  l

Tim Allen and Peter Loeb, longtime research collaborators of AHP, worked with AHP HIV testing staff Perry Rhodes III and Darrell McElvane and volunteers TJ Ratana and Alexandra Ruff to record new videos on AHP’s groundbreaking HIV prevention intervention, Personalized Cognitive Counseling (PCC). The training videos will enhance the capacity of PCC counselors in the United States and abroad to implement the powerful intervention, which helps clients reflect on instances when their heat-ofthe-moment behavior contradicts their self-set prevention goals.

Testing More Than HIV AHP’s “HIV Counseling and Testing Team” is a bit of a misnomer. HCAT is one of the longest running HIV testing programs in the country, but it has, for years, offered other life-enhancing testing like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. HCAT recently began offering hepatitis C (HCV) testing to clients at risk and the hepatitis A vaccine to any AHP client who requests one.

HIV is personal for longtime AHP volunteer Michael Kinney. Diagnosed with HIV in 1984, the very early days of the epidemic, Kinney turned to his friends for support. He discovered that many were also facing similar symptoms, uncertainties, and fears. That experience—the need for and the power of support—informed his decision to join AHP. Kinney became a peer support group facilitator, ensuring that each week, clients have a safe place to talk, listen, and connect to others. Kinney says he is “blown away” by the knowledge and capacity of people in his group: “I’m always learning something new,” whether it is “practical” or “profound.” But mostly, Kinney adds, “It feels good to know that I’m able to do something.”  l

Stories of 2016–2017 The Kindness of Friends 2017 was another banner year for Art for AIDS! 700 people came together to support AHP. Together, we raised $348,900 to help clients receive no cost mental health care. But the money was only half the story: each artist, volunteer, donor, food and beverage sponsor, staff member—each friend—gave us a piece of themselves. We asked and you answered. Thank you!

Volunteer Spotlight: Jessie Bie

The Little Screen Features PCC

Jessie Bie has no memory of what happened or how he got to the hospital the fateful night that lead to his AIDS diagnosis, but his friends tell him they had to break into his apartment to rescue him when he became confused and nonsensical on the phone. Diagnosed with PML, an often-fatal opportunistic infection, Bie was lucky to have had his friend’s intervene and save his life. As a gay man of Filipino heritage, family and community are critical to him. The drama of learning he had PML caused Bie to reach out to his family. Though being “out” was rocky at first, they eventually got over their phobias and back to supporting and loving their son. Bie says that his relationship with his parents has improved now that he is no longer keeping this big secret from them. Once his physical health improved Bie enrolled in individual therapy at AHP. When that was over he joined AHP’s Strong and Proud support group for people who have gone through trauma, a place that allowed him to talk about his queerness and his identity in a safe space with others who shared their triumphs and struggles together. With support from AHP, Bie got back on an HIV antiviral treatment regimen, which returned to him the energy and zest for life that is his nature, best expressed in his mode of transportation—razor scooter— and his vocation: dancing with the Steamroller Dance Company. Bie now attends an ongoing group for HIV long-term survivors at AHP. He looks to the other group members for guidance and connection and a shared reality.  l

Tim Allen and Peter Loeb, longtime research collaborators of AHP, worked with AHP HIV testing staff Perry Rhodes III and Darrell McElvane and volunteers TJ Ratana and Alexandra Ruff to record new videos on AHP’s groundbreaking HIV prevention intervention, Personalized Cognitive Counseling (PCC). The training videos will enhance the capacity of PCC counselors in the United States and abroad to implement the powerful intervention, which helps clients reflect on instances when their heat-ofthe-moment behavior contradicts their self-set prevention goals.

Testing More Than HIV AHP’s “HIV Counseling and Testing Team” is a bit of a misnomer. HCAT is one of the longest running HIV testing programs in the country, but it has, for years, offered other life-enhancing testing like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. HCAT recently began offering hepatitis C (HCV) testing to clients at risk and the hepatitis A vaccine to any AHP client who requests one.

esilience is “an ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever,” according to Psychology Today. But what we also know about resilience is that it is a group activity: people who succeed in the face of trauma and difficulty do so with the support of friends, families, and communities: a magical web of humanity, a circle of caring. Now more than ever we are relying on each other to build and sustain resilience. Over the past year, we have witnessed significant threats to the social and political achievements of LGBTQ communities. Our LGBTQ and HIV-affected neighbors worry about being stripped of their entitlements, just as they struggle with advancing age, food shortages, and housing insecurities, not to mention HIV and increased threats of violence against LGBTQ people. And the assaults continue with a tax bill that foreshadows cuts to crucial health and human service programs, the strategic censorship of words such as “diversity,” “transgender, “ “vulnerable,” and “science-based,” concepts that lie at the heart of AHP’s mission, and the loss of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, a fierce advocate and a champion of public health funding whose policies and actions protected critical programs that would have failed with cuts to federal funding. Our civic leaders have ensured that the San Francisco Department of Public Health plays a major role in building that magical web of support, of fueling that resilience. Likewise, our state and federal legislators and funders have stood with us when the going was tough. Now more than ever, it is crucial to recognize the important role government plays and the people who populate government with integrity, compassion, and grit. If the circle of caring begins with our clients—their resilience as much as their need fuels our motivation to build programs to support them—it extends back to them from you, through us. We each play a part, each secure a point on the circle, each anchor a filament of the web. For that we are so grateful. The sum is not greater than the parts; it is dependent on the parts. But the resilience that lies in each of us becomes communal in a way that none of us ever imagines. We thank you for being a part of our community.  l

Shepherding Clients Toward Zero

Community Mental Health Training at AHP

If the phrase “case manager” conjures an image of a desk wardfacing worker managing an endless caseload of destitute people, then you are entertaining a myth. AHP case managers are actively in the community, connecting and saving lives. Case managers reach out and serve clients, on the streets, in clients’ homes, and sitting next to clients at AHP’s Services Center. They assess a client’s needs and ensure that those needs do not become barriers. If San Francisco’s pioneering Getting to Zero campaign is going to work, it’s because case managers are

Each year for nearly 25 years, AHP has invited postgraduate students, folks who have been trained to be mental health professionals and whose training requires additional frontline experience, to join our clinical staff as “clinical interns.” This rich history of imparting valuable guidance and skills has ensured that these new therapists can provide members of the HIV and LGBTQ community the most culturally competent care. In 2017, AHP won a new grant that broadens our reach into the hearts and minds of budding mental health professionals. Seed funding from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development is enabling us to recruit and train a diverse group of community members—people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, consumers of mental health services, and people with disabilities—who want to learn more about a career in community mental health. Participants in AHP’s new Training Program for Community Mental Health, beginning in 2018, will engage in twelve weeks of trainings in areas such as traumainformed care, recovery, harm reduction, and mental health treatment. The trainees will receive regular supervision from the program coordinator—long-time AHP clinician, Claudia Figallo, MPH —and guidance on the various opportunities in the field. Participants will also receive support and mentoring from our clinical trainees. Recruiting potential mental health professionals from the communities they will serve and nurturing them with guidance, mentorship, and knowledge, will increase the likelihood that the field will be responsive to the broad diversity of clients who need community mental health services. It will reduce stigma, ensure high-quality care, and increase wellness for LGBTQ and HIV-affected consumers of mental health services. That is, after all, AHP’s mission.  l

on the frontlines getting clients into HIV care and helping clients to: identify barriers—drug use, homelessness, stigma, mental illness, and poverty—challenges that influence them to “fall out of care”; identify resources to resolve those barriers; schedule, get to, and navigate appointments; and access additional resources, for example, mental health treatment, substance use support, housing, and legal services. Chris Saito, AHP’s Behavioral Health Psychiatric Supervisor, puts it succinctly: “Our goal is to make case managers obsolete because everyone is in care.” The case manager is a life-saving bridge between the client and the services that can carry that client beyond the obstacles that impede them. According to Saito, half the job is finding people who have no address, no phone and no email. The other half is building non-judgmental, trusting, consistent relationships with clients, thereby constructing a container in which clients get to make choices—to be the arbiters of their own care—supported in that process by an informed and compassionate staff. It’s fitting that AHP’s supplementary support group for this group of clients is called Home Base. The group is just another way that AHP’s case managers ensure that the chain of support does not break until the clients achieve their goals. As Saito put it, the majority of our clients ‘graduate’ out of AHP case management, “because their lives have been transformed.”  l
