Living After Diagnosis AIDS (LADA) is a
peer support group intervention for Haitian living with HIV.
The intervention has three major components: (1) group
discussion (2) counseling (3) peer support activities.
The group meets once each month for
educational/informational sessions and a communal meal. Group
discussions include topics: Nutrition, Clinical Trial, How to
Disclose, Dating, Love Connection and Prevention & Risk
Reduction.
Individual counseling is provided to Peer leaders by a
Clinical Psychologist as needed. Holiday events and
recreational activities are sponsored by the program for
support group members and their families.
The LADA is consumer-driven with two HIV consumers
responsible for the leadership of the peer support group. An
Outreach Leader and Group Activity Leader work together to
serve their fellow support group members through advocacy,
home visits, transportation.
Peer leaders under the Peer Support Coordinator are
responsible for the one-day annual retreat.
