Face to Face Sonoma County AIDS Network Information

Since 1983, Face to Face has addressed the ever-changing challenges presented by the HIV epidemic in Sonoma County. Our mission is to improve the lives of people affected by HIV, and to eliminate new infections. To this end, we empower clients with supportive services including housing assistance, benefits counseling, information, referrals, and transportation. We strengthen our community through outreach, education and HIV policy advocacy on a local and national level. The goal of our Care Services program is to encourage well-being, healing and independence for everyone we serve. Services offered include: benefits counseling, emergency financial assistance, housing search and placement, home health care, transportation to medical appointments and specialized services for women, families and the Latino community. The goal of our Prevention Education program is to reach those at highest risk of HIV infection with proven intervention strategies, strong supportive messaging, educational materials and condoms. The HIV/AIDS environment is changing due to advances in medical care. An HIV diagnosis is no longer an imminent death sentence. Instead, the focus becomes supporting HIV/AIDS affected individuals so that they can live an independent and healthy life for many years. Face to Face is committed to providing the essential care necessary to help reconnect our clients with their vitality and well-being.
