Mental Health counseling offers you support when you most need it. Learning about HIV/AIDS and managing treatment can be a confusing and emotionally draining process. An integral component of Ryan's health services for people living with HIV/AIDS is the Mental Health Program for Adults.

Ryan's Mental Health Program's Certified Social Workers offer safe, confidential, and supportive counseling and psychotherapy to persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Coping with HIV/AIDS is stressful whether you have no prior history of receiving Mental Health services, or you are a substance user, have a history of relapse, or have pre-existing mental health problems which may be exacerbated by an HIV diagnosis.

All people living with HIV/AIDS who require Mental Health counseling participate in the development of their own health services plan in collaboration with Ryan's HIV Services Case Management and Harm Reduction Specialists.
