VISION: RAIN envisions ending HIV in our community.

MISSION: RAIN empowers persons living with HIV and those at risk to be healthy and stigma free.

REMOTE CARE DURING COVID-19

RAIN serves a vulnerable population of people living with and at high risk for HIV. RAIN’s response accounts for the safety and well-being of our clients, staff, and community at large. Below are just a few examples of how RAIN continues to serve, remotely:

• RAIN’s therapists are using HIPAA compliant software to provide counseling virtually.
• RAIN staff are working with the pharmacies to schedule delivery ONE client at a time – asking deliveries to be left at the door
• RAIN staff are reaching out to each client, weekly, to assess their needs such as food, childcare, transportation, medical and mental health – on a regular basis.
• Staff members are assigned different partner organizations and clinical sites to check for changes daily and report back to the entire staff if a change is identified.
• A COVID-19 resource book has been developed (ex: If a client identifies food as a need and there are local restaurants giving away free meals for kids – what are those restaurants, what are the hours, and are there any restrictions).
• A COVID 19 Emergency Assessment has been created and staff are calling our clients to complete it (these calls are made several times).

Additionally:

• All support groups and testing have been postponed until further notice
• All staff are working remotely from their homes
• Regular staff check ins are happening with their supervisors, one on one and in group virtual chat settings
• RAIN continues to make updates via their website, social media and other outlets
