Education and health are the rights of individuals. The Nine Circles Health Promotion team assists in the process of helping people to increase control over and to improve their health. Health Promotion seeks to empower individuals through education, raising HIV/AIDS and STI awareness and working toward healthier lifestyle choices.

Primary tools include

• Interactive workshops
• Education sessions
• Resource handouts
• Harm reduction tools
• Sexual health promotion
  

Educational services are provided to groups, individuals, families and communities – examples include schools, community agencies, health care providers, correctional facilities, and other engagements upon request.

The Health Promotion and Outreach Team actively participates in the designing, coordinating, and marketing of Health Promotion educational tools and building awareness for special events, such as the AIDS Walk for Life, World AIDS Day, Sexual Health Awareness Week, Pride week, Spring for Life Awareness and Fundraising and many more.

Outreach:

When individuals face challenges in finding and keeping support, the Nine Circles Outreach team works to make services available in their homes, communities and other meeting places. Individuals receive necessary information for their personal health along with the opportunity to link with services. This team offers harm reduction tools, resources and referral information to help make the connections faster and stronger.
