Dr. Jill Foster and her co-authors Theresa Parrino, LCSW, Maria Frontera, MSW, and Dr. Maureen Davey write about the St. Chris Teen Peer Academy in
The Source, a twice yearly publication by the
National Abandoned Infants Assistance Resource Center (AIA) (funded by the
US Department of Health and Human Services Children's Bureau). The article discusses the successes and challenges of Teen Peer Academy, the after school peer support and training program for HIV positive youth. The article also features art and poetry from two of the program's teens who are part of the program. A print version of the article will be distributed nationally in the next several weeks. The Source provides information for service providers of children in families affected by issues around HIV/AIDS and substance abuse. The AIA funds the
Family Centered Home Visitors Program of the
Health Federation of Philadelphia.
