Guiding Right: Helping Others Find Their Way

HIV/AIDS is a highly stigmatized disease, especially within the African American community; therefore, acquiring the virus often produces feelings of fear, shame, and isolation. This hinders so many who have been infected with or affected by the disease from accessing proper treatment and care and/or support services. Hence, the beginning of GRI, whose aim is to promote and provide culturally appropriate education and life skills training to persons of all ages to decrease social, economic, and health disparities including (HIV/AIDS) for high risk populations with special emphasis on women, African Americans and youth within the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Tulsa MSA.
