CRCS (Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services) is an individual-level intervention, formerly referred to as Prevention Case Management, designed to help HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons who are at high risk for HIV transmission or acquisition to reduce risk behaviors and address the psychosocial and medical needs (i.e., “Life Plus” issues) that contribute to risk behavior or poor health outcomes.

Learning Immune Function Enhancement (L.I.F.E.)
The L.I.F.E. Program® is a psycho-educational program for people living with HIV/AIDS. L.I.F.E. is designed to address the power that social relationships and psychological issues have on physical health.
