In an effort to address the unique, extraordinary, and challenging times
that we are currently living in, The Well Project is pleased to launch two
new resources on COVID-19 to help support our community. *Stay Well at Home
with The Well Project*

starting on April 8 at noon ET, is a bi-weekly (every other week)
video/chat series that will feature women living with HIV sharing positive
approaches to help navigate the isolation and other challenges that the
COVID-19 pandemic is causing so many of us to experience. Sessions will
include exercise, meditation, yoga, cooking, art, and more. Let’s stay
connected to each other while taking a collective mental health break.

Sessions begin on April 8 and will take place every other Thursday
thereafter from 12 pm – 1 pm ET. Please see below for the schedule and
check back often for an update to the speakers and topics.

In the first session, *Vision Planning with CiCi *(April 8 at 12 pm - 1 pm
ET), Community Advisory Board member Ciarra Covin will lead us in creating
vision boards, with a focus on utilizing times of change as a catalyst to
be more intentional with our goals. Participants should bring a pen or
pencil (or other writing materials) and paper to the session (magazines,
scissors, glue and other embellishments are optional). Click here

*****NEW COVID-19 RESOURCE*
We are also pleased to announce the availability of *Resources on COVID-19
Support, Advocacy, Gender and HIV,*

a new list and description of the resources that can help support your
needs in this difficult time. We have developed this resource to address
the broad impact that this pandemic is having on our community, including
our social justice, advocacy, gender equity, medical, and mental healthcare
needs. This guide includes community-based information, federal and
clinical resources, webinars and other interactive resources,
recommendations to cope with stress, advocacy opportunities, and more. This
resource, which is intended for both community members and providers, will
be regularly updated as additional information and guidance become
available; if you have suggestions, please send them our way!

As a resource that was created nearly 20 years ago to disseminate unbiased,
evidence-based information and community support in an online format, The
Well Project is well positioned to help our community keep informed and
connected during these challenging times. We hope you will join us.

,* “The census matters to people living with HIV. It is the official count
of the U.S. population and determines how political representation and
federal funding will be apportioned for the next ten years. It will be used
to determine how many seats your state will get in the House of
Representative. That’s political power! It will be used to redraw
congressional, state and local districts. That’s voting power! It will also
be used to distribute more than $675 billion in federal funding to state
and local government for key programs
<https://thewellproject.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d6ef6460733461d830b7e6d53&id=24d61c7f29&e=82bfead805>
that support people living with HIV such as Medicaid, nutrition assistance,

our human rights to health care, food and housing!” *
