Are you an entertainment professional living with HIV/AIDS, newly diagnosed or caring for a loved one? We can help you create confidential, holistic plans and support systems to meet your immediate and long-term emotional, medical and financial needs.
While new medical treatments have given hope for an end to the epidemic, HIV continues to create significant emotional, medical and financial needs among those infected and affected. Our social workers are here to help through the continuum of living with HIV.
HIV Initiative social workers can provide counseling services and often work in a supportive role over many years of a person’s life. We provide a safe, long-term network where people can receive both individual and group support.
We can connect with you by phone, virtually or in person to help you locate resources in your community and coordinate those services in the context of a longer-term supportive plan.
Please register or log in to our Entertainment Community Fund Portal to access our workshops, programs and services. Our portal is designed to cater to your individual needs and interests, offering access to a wide range of resources and support—all with the guidance and understanding of what it takes to build a life and career in the arts.
The Entertainment Community Fund is committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
