Community Health Action is committed to transforming lives through prevention and care. We reach thousands of people a year through our helpline, targeted outreach, social and educational programs, and high school trainings, which dispense important prevention and medical information about HIV/AIDS and other STDs and blood-borne diseases.

The Health Education and Prevention department at Community Health Action provides education to the community by facilitating workshops, trainings, and educational presentations. Staff members, trained peer staff and volunteers offer information about HIV/AIDS prevention, LGBT issues, and resources available to Staten Island through community outreach, small group interventions, and counseling.

The agency has 10 case management teams for HIV+ clients, with four specialized teams to serve seriously mentally ill persons with HIV, HIV+ undocumented immigrants, HIV+ men in NYSDOCS Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, and women with HIV+ or sero-reverted children.  We provide intensive support to HIV+ NYC-based releases from Northeastern NY State correctional facilities by meeting them immediately upon their release and escorting them to services.  Other Client Services include support groups, individual and family counseling, housing, regular recreational and cultural events, substance abuse treatment, escort and translation services, job counseling and an emergency food pantry.
