| African-Americans and Alzheimer's Disease |
|
Many Americans dismiss the warning signs of Alzheimer's, believing that these symptoms are a part of normal aging. They are diagnosed too late and miss the opportunity to get the best care possible. This is of even greater concern for African-Americans, who are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than other populations.
African-Americans have a higher rate of vascular disease (diseases involving blood vessels, including heart attack and stroke) – one of the suspected risk factors of Alzheimer's disease. By working together, we hope to reduce these risk factors and reverse the growing trend of Alzheimer's disease among African-Americans. www.alz.org/altn or call us at 256.880.1575 for more information, resources and referrals. |

The AIDS Action Coalition provides free testing Monday through Thursday 8:00 to 4:15 and Friday 8:00 to 12:00 on site at 600 Saint Clair Avenue Building 7 suite 18. Testing is confidential and results are available in 20 minutes. In addition to testing, we have three free counseling programs funded through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control. Man 2 Man: A multi session individual counseling program designed for African American Men between the ages of 18 and 44 who are at high risk for contracting HIV. The goal of Man 2 Man is to reduce the transmission/spread of HIV through education and risk reduction counseling by providing a safe one-on -one environment where clients can ask questions, learn skills, discuss risks, and set prevention goals. Clients are provided with an outlet to explore subject matter that they may not be able to discuss during traditional outreach. A Prevention Case Manager will be assigned to provide participants with emotional support and provide a bridge to community resources and information. Incentives are provided to participants who complete required sessions. Woman to Woman: A evidenced-based, risk reduction program designed to help African American women ages 16 and above and who are at high risk for contracting HIV/STI's identify and reduce risky behavior, while encouraging healthy lifestyles. The goal of Woman to Woman is to reduce the transmission/spread of HIV through education and risk reduction counseling and by providing a safe one-on one- environment where clients can ask questions, learn skills, discuss risks, and set prevention goals with the prevention counselor. Clients are strongly encouraged to complete the Five Core Skills sessions as well as sessions relating to sexual addiction and substance abuse. Incentives are provided to participants who complete required sessions. Talk, Listen, Connect (TLC): A six session, relationship-based program that teaches couples techniques and skills to enhance the quality of their relationship, communication, and shared commitment to safer behaviors. The program is based on the AIDS Risk Reduction Model, which organizes behavior change into three phases: recognize risk, commit to change, and act on strategies. Emphasis is placed on emphasizing the personal, relational, and societal influences on behavior. Counselors will apply techniques commonly used in family therapy, allowing couples to work together to solve shared problems.
