Peer Support Services directly responds to people who are infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS by providing a myriad of peer-led social support activities, including support groups for HIV positive young adults in their twenties, HIV+ men in their Thirties, HIV positive gay and bisexual mens group,  two long term survivors groups, a magnetic couples group series, and services for perinatally infected youth. Peer Support Services also collaborates with the  SPARK Center, where HIV+ youth ages 13 to 24 serve as mentors to younger HIV+ children in an after-school program called the Ticket program.

Peer Support also offers individualized, one-on-one support for people living with HIV, and has a special program centered around Positive Prevention. It provides support and education for those around topics such as medications, relationships, sexual health, stigma, disclosure, substance use, communication with doctors, dealing with side effects, and more.

We also offer educational and social opportunities for those living with HIV. Thrive Monday is held every second Monday of the month, and offers a free meal, educational session, and social with music and entertainment.

Peer Support also offers training for building professional competency among those providing Peer Support already, or those who are interested in becoming Peer Leaders or involved with peer support programs. Peer Support Services offers a new training series consisting of 3 introductory half day trainings weekly, and additional 3 full-day advanced trainings.
