Homeless and runaway youth, pregnant teens and teen parents are high priorities. A street outreach team provides curbside counseling about AIDS and risk reduction behaviors to youth on the street. Referrals for shelter, health care and social services are also provided by outreach workers. A team that includes youth educators provides group education and skill building sessions to pregnant teens and teen parents at schools and community agencies. It provides comprehensive case management services at CHLA and six other hospital-based pediatric AIDS programs.
Psychologists provide individual, couple, family and group counseling.
Since there is currently no cure for AIDS, clinical research studies represent AIDS patients' best hope. All other physicians have offices located throughout Southern California.
