What is HIV Case Management?
We define Case Management as “meeting people where they are at.” HIV Case Management clients will work with our HIV Case Manager to help secure health insurance, HIV specialists, and other health providers. The case manager will also work with clients to help them coordinate and access housing, financial benefits and other services through other providers. Other supports available to our HIV+ clients include a HIV Peer Leader, support groups, holistic treatments and nutritional and educational offerings.
What services are available to Case Management clients?
Peer Leader – Our client advocate has the wisdom of lived experience in the ins-and-outs of living with HIV and are available during congregate meals and support groups, and can assist clients by attending appointments with them or working with them one-on-one.
Nurse Educators – Our on-staff Nurse Educator is available to work with clients on education regarding health and nutrition, medications and adherence, and all aspects of treatment.
Support Groups – Clients looking to spend time with their peers and receive support and education in a safe and secure setting can take advantage of our monthly support groups. Support groups are facilitated by NSHP staff and include a meal as part of our nutrition program. Support groups include:
Nutrition Program – With support from the Open Door, North Shore Health Project can provide clients with emergency groceries, congregate meals, grocery delivery for clients who are homebound and nutritional speakers. Congregate meals are held three times a week, and often have an educational speaker tied to them. A meal is also held before each Wednesday support group.
Holistic Treatments – We offer holistic treatments for our Case/Care Management clients as a means of helping to ease symptoms of both diseases and help with the side effects of the medications used to treat them. We offer the following holistic treatments:
