The HIV Services Mental Health Program provides psychological services to children, adolescents, young adults and families living with HIV/AIDS or for youth on Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) treatment. The program is currently open to patients between ages 4 and 24 and their families. Our services are multidisciplinary to ensure that patients and families receive comprehensive care.
Psychologists in this program provide outpatient psychological consultation and treatment to a diverse clientele of patients and families with a myriad of presenting concerns, including: medication adherence difficulties, pill swallowing support, adjustment to illness, diagnosis disclosure/education, anxiety, depression, bereavement, post-traumatic stress symptoms, substance abuse, relationship problems and behavioral problems. Patients are routinely screened for areas of concern and consultative mental health services are provided regularly for patients during their medical visits.
