WHAT WE DO
Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT)
In collaboration with our grassroots partners and the Rwandan government, WE-ACTx has provided Voluntary Counseling and Testing services (VCT) since October 2005, testing over thousands of people.
Integrated Mental Health Services
Our health care model is unique in Rwanda for its extensive integration of mental health care into primary health and HIV medical care. Trained staff including trauma counselors, a psychiatric nurse, a psychologist, and peer advocates delivers WE-ACTx’s psychosocial services. We offer home visits and individual counseling for patients of all ages, as well as group counseling for teens, young mothers, survivors of domestic violence, and men living with HIV.
Nutrition support
WE-ACTx For Hope is proving supplement nutrition to more than 600 children monthly. It is a local porridge made by Sorghum, Soya and Maize. It is very rich in nutriments. This supplement helps the very poor children to be able to take their daily antiretroviral treatment.
Youth Support Groups
SUNDAY SUPPORT
Every Sunday, young patients from WE-ACTx’s Centreville clinic gather together for a day of peer-led support groups, community-building games, yoga, and a healthy snack.
Under the supervision of WE-ACTx’s Youth Program Coordinator, our twenty Peer Parents facilitate group conversations for youth ages 12-20 focusing on overcoming the challenges of adherence to HIV medication. These “family groups,” which are stratified according to age and gender, create a consistent safe space for teens to discuss personal issues related to living with HIV and their overall well-being. The support groups are followed by peer-led yoga classes that give youth the opportunity to release physical and emotional tension, build strength, and enjoy each other’s company.
