There are many ways to define recovery. Many of us

There are many ways to define recovery. Many of us understand that it is a very individualized path, requiring an individualized approach. Allowing each person to invest in what positive change means to them maintains that persons autonomy.

This builds trust, and keeps us moving forward along that path of recovery. Demanding abstinence forgoes autonomy and misses the steps between active use and cessation. There are many points along that path where the Red Project comes in. Reducing harm, preventing HIV and Hep C, reversing and preventing overdoses, HIV case management, etc.

Each clean syringe, question answered, and dose of #Narcan distributed makes a difference.

Happy Monday everyone!

Regardless of what medication(s) you may take - they’re important! Running your full course of antibiotics, staying on psych meds, adhering to an HIV medication regimen, etc. are all vital to maintaining a good quality of life.

Thank you to our HIV Care Team member Nikita for reminding me that using positive direction is more beneficial for our brains. “Remember” to take your meds is more effective than “Don’t forget!”

Let’s take that positive note with us this Monday and remind ourselves to self-direct using positive language rather than punitive 😁

“I feel like what I have going on is super unique and nobody will understand.”

“I am here, and I promise to try.”

The Red Project takes each person as their own, unique self and asks rather than dictates what this individual may need assistance with, or advice with. This is the core of truly serving someone, without stripping them of autonomy and self-efficacy.

To donate to the Red Project, please visit https://redproject.org/donate/ to support our aim to improve health, prevent HIV, and reduce harm.

Wow!! We’ve just reached 70 days in for our #RedProjectMatters campaign and you all have helped us raise over $8,500 so far!

With 30 days left in our fundraiser, we are asking anyone who is able to donate to our organization and invest in their West Michigan communities to do so using this link: https://redproject.org/donate/

Donations bring in resources essential to stopping the spread of HIV and Hep C, and reduce harm associated with activities or behaviors our participants may engage in - without shame, guilt or stigma attached.

PrEP is a daily medication that when taken properly, prevents the transmission of HIV to an already HIV negative individual. The main barrier to this medication is access, and that's where the Red Project comes in. We can help you out with insurance and coverage issues, help get you a prescription - and
make sure you stay protected from HIV.

Help us #EndHIV - visit redproject.org or call 616.456.9063 for more information about PrEP, HIV, Harm Reduction, and taking charge of your health.

Today is #NationalHIVAIDSAgingAwarenessDay, which

Today is #NationalHIVAIDSAgingAwarenessDay, which is notable because people living with HIV (PLWH) tend to age slightly earlier.

With a global total in 2018 of over 7.5 million PLWH over 50 years of age, this is significant (CDC). PLWH as they age tend to experience higher rates of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, liver failure, osteoporosis, cancer, and memory problems.

This is not meant to scare anyone - this information and day of awareness are present to encourage those living with HIV to maintain healthy and active lifestyles, stick to their medication regimen, and continuously live the most balanced lives they can. All of these factors reduce the impact of HIV on an aging individuals body.

Red Project is here to help those do just that (and a lot of other services!). To donate please visit https://redproject.org/donate/ and support our aim to help those living with HIV age gracefully.

It’s getting colder and wetter as we transition into autumn weather. That means some are in need of more wound care resources to prevent infection in humid conditions, more layers to keep warm, and more resources overall.

When it comes to running an errand, holding down the fort for a restroom break, or even covering a shift - RP staff are pros at covering for each other in times of need. That ensures our programs and services run smoothly, and are as reliably available as possible.

If we can step up for each other as a staff, imagine what we do for our community members here in West Michigan. Invest in our endeavors further by donating at https://redproject.org/donate/

[Edit: We made a mistake and didn’t credit @riseindigenous in the photo here for this wonderful quote - thank you for your work and words!!]

We actually don't have to say anything nice about a person when they die - especially when that person presided over a colonial empire and actively worked to legitimize it's racism, classism, and power every single day of their life.

Imagine if the world showed as much compassion and empathy for the cultures and communities that Queen Elizabeth II and the monarchy colonized and devastated rather than the unsavory monarch herself.

Thoughts?

RP consistently invests in hosting/participating in different events, activities and engaging items for our client and participants to stay involved with.

Engagement items like these ensure our folks remain committed to taking their meds, going to doctor appointments, renewing health insurance, maintaining diet, etc. (and that’s JUST within HIV medical case management!)

Our programs support individuals in many ways, and keeping staff and participants engaged with each other and the community is a great way forward for us all.

Please donate at https://redproject.org/donate/ to support our many endeavors!
