Solutions for Wellness 2016 aims to establish dialogue between health care providers, community activists, and members of the public living with HIV, mental health issues, and substance abuse. We also seek to highlight and uplift the experiences and insights of marginalized individuals and communities in the DC area who may also be struggling with HIV, mental health, or substance abuse.
The conference will consist of multiple workshops lead by community-based organizers and health care providers, and will also feature a panel of individuals living with HIV, mental health issues, and substance abuse and those who can help them find solutions.
Our goal is to catalyze collective action that will improve the quality of care for persons living with these mental and physical issues in Washington, DC. We hope that this endeavor will mark the beginning of a concerted effort by local governments, community-based organizations, and community advocates to create community-inspired prevention and treatment strategies to improve the lives of individuals impacted by HIV, mental illness, and substance abuse.
The Public Welfare Foundation is wheelchair accessible. If you need any form of accomodations, please let us know at supportdesk@thedccenter.org or call at (202) 682-2245.
