GMHC Annual Report

FY 2014 & 2015

Taking Flight at GMHC

Gay Men’s Crisis began when HIV was a certain death sentence, when stigma and forced people from their homes, their jobs, and their families. When even hospitals turned away the suffering, GMHC was there. Men and women in need fled from all over the country, seeking a safe haven and seeking answers. GMHC was there. Today, hundreds of women and men flee their countries of origin—escaping violence, discrimination, poverty, stigma, and abuse. They come to City to build a new home and a new life. Amid the bright lights and the big city, it’s easy to miss these new Americans, but they are here. And GMHC is here for them. Today, HIV rates continue to rise among young men of color who have sex with men. Many of these young people live in poverty, rejected by their families, and fall through the cracks of mainstream service systems. But GMHC is here for them. Today, soup kitchens around the city overflow with hungry clients, even as funding for these services dries up. Hundreds of people with HIV go to bed hungry each night. But GMHC is here for them. GMHC is here for the people who come to our office with a new HIV diagnosis, seeking answers, and a way forward. GMHC is here for the families who flee persecution, searching for legal ways to make America home. GMHC is here for the men and women who need a hot meal and a friendly face. GMHC is here for the young people who come from across the five boroughs seeking a sense of community and the promise of a better tomorrow. Our staff and volunteers learn about the people we serve through the fragments of their stories. Open-minded and without judgment, we stretch out a lifeline to our clients, one service at a time—a hot meal, an HIV test, connection to medical care—all with the aim of empowering our clients to take flight toward a healthy and fulfilling life. The journey is long and winding, but GMHC is always there. Letter from the CEO

As we reflect on the last year of service, we are filled with gratitude for your support of GMHC. Your generosity has helped GMHC provide over 100,000 meals to hungry New Yorkers, deliver 1,600 hours of mental health services, provide over 3,000 HIV tests, and serve over 10,000 people living with or affected by HIV. Thanks to our outstanding community of benefactors, Men’s Health Crisis continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. In the years since 1981, we have time and again witnessed the suffering of our brothers and sisters touched by the AIDS epidemic and by poverty, stigma, and injustice. As we remember their struggles and honor those who have fallen, we recall too the incredible progress that has been made to improve the lives of those with HIV and prevent new . The story of HIV is one of struggle and hope; it’s a story of communities coming together to uplift the lives of the marginalized. GMHC remains a steadfast leader in the goal to eradicate the AIDS epidemic by 2020. We have made incredible progress on many fronts to address the challenges that remain— the agency has undertaken new program initiatives, implemented stronger fiscal policies, and continued to lead local, state, and national public policy discussions. As we look toward the future, we are updating our message to reflect our continued commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Our new logo honors GMHC’s history and our identity by using the color red, the traditional color of HIV/AIDS. Second, where we once said “Fight AIDS” our logo now says “End AIDS,” because that is our true goal—to END AIDS once and for all. Lastly, our slogan “Love Life” has been strengthened—we now say “Live Life” to affirm our commitment to helping all people live full and rewarding lives, regardless of their HIV status. Through these changes, we aim to empower and invigorate those who stand with GMHC, remind them of our past, recognize our progress, and engage in the work that remains to be done. We are ever aware of the challenges ahead. Government funding cuts will significantly impact AIDS services and prevention programs. In addition, while the rates of new HIV infections have gone down in New York State overall, they continue to rise in young and older men who have sex with men, and women of color. Until there is a cure and it is available to all who need it, our work will never be complete. Thank you for your enduring support,

Kelsey Louie Chief Executive Officer Letter from the Board Chairs

It is our great pride and pleasure to present you with GMHC’s 2015 annual report. The stories within these pages and the successes we’ve achieved would not have been possible without the exceptional leaders and activists of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, who bring their and commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS. This past summer we acknowledged three significant milestones in the history of HIV/AIDS. In June of 1981, the Centers for Disease Control published the first-ever medical report on AIDS. On July 3rd, less than one month later, published a ground-breaking article on a Rare Seen in 41 Homosexuals. This became the article universally cited as the beginning of the epidemic. One month and one week later, GMHC was born. In the living room of ’s apartment, founders Nathan Fain, Larry Kramer, Lawrence Mass, , Paul Rapoport, and gathered with their friends and took up the first collection for action. Together, they formed the world’s first AIDS service organization, dedicated to helping all in need. Nearly 35 years later, the tenacity of our founders continues to inspire our work at GMHC. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished this year. Together, we’ve helped over 10,000 people access healthcare, counseling, meals, employment, legal services, and HIV testing in 2015. A world without AIDS is possible, but we must be prepared to meet new challenges. Over the years, funding for HIV prevention services has experienced cuts, and there is little or no funding for programs for long-term survivors and aging people living with HIV/AIDS. With over 120,000 people currently diagnosed with HIV in , and more than 1.2 million nationwide, GMHC is dedicated to ensuring that life-sustaining services remain intact, and that our commitment to ending the AIDS epidemic stands stronger than ever. It is with your help and willingness to assist that we are able to do what many said was impossible over three decades ago. On behalf of GMHC clients, staff, volunteers, and Board members, thank you. Sincerely,

Roberta A. Kaplan Michael C. Harwood Co-Chair, Board of Directors Co-Chair, Board of Directors

issues faced by long-term survivors include isolation, the stresses of today living with a chronic disease, elevated risk for depression, substance use, and suicidal ideation. They also report experiencing stigma from within the , gay, bisexual, and (LGBT) community, as well as symptoms that resemble post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “I felt forgotten about for so long,” said long-term survivor Sean McKenna. “There are fewer and fewer programs for long-term survivors. Our health is declining and there are now more of us.” GMHC is relaunching its historic Buddy Program to meet the unmet needs of HIV and AIDS veterans. The agency also launched a new page on its website dedicated to services for long-term survivors, defined as those who contracted the before the advent of anti-retroviral therapies (ART) or who have been living with HIV or AIDS for ten or more years. Originally created in 1982, GMHC’s Buddy Program helped those dying from AIDS who “It made sense to were isolated and didn’t have support from family to care for them. Buddies escorted clients to the hospital and to medical me that the Buddy appointments, and shopped for food and other household needs when clients became too weak to leave their homes. The program Program was the ended in 2005 due to decreased interest and funding eliminated from the Care f irst place to go.” Act by Congress. “I was diagnosed with HIV on March 10, 1994, and became a GMHC client in 1996,” said Sean. “I knew about GMHC’s Buddy Program at that time. I thought it was amazing. It made sense to me that the Buddy Program was the first place to go. That is something special, helping people to die with dignity.” The Buddy Program and other services for long-term survivors will be advised by a new committee of which Sean is a member. Many long-term survivors have lived through the worst of the AIDS epidemic. GMHC is not only committed to making sure they are not forgotten, but also that they are honored and have access to services that meet their needs today including mental health, substance use, legal, and meal programs—and more. “I will be happy when there are buddies out in the world,” said Sean. “Helping to bring back the Buddy Program is nothing short of miraculous, not only because this time around it is designed to help people live their lives to the fullest, but also because, until there is a cure, every one of us who is infected will eventually become a long-term survivor.”

a lot of women who are scared to share their HIV status with their partners “i see and children, and family members. They are afraid of being outcast, humiliated, forced to live alone, and not respected by their kids.” Nelly Melendez knows HIV care. As a Client Navigator for GMHC’s Department of Women’s Care, Prevention, and Support Services (WCPSS), Nelly is the friendly face that women see when they come to the agency. She leads counseling groups for women in need—mothers struggling to disclose their HIV status, women striving to be free from substance use issues. For these women, Nelly is more than a counselor; she is a trusted advisor, a role model, and a confidant. Like all WCPSS services, Nelly’s groups are offered in Spanish and English to ensure that more women have access to welcoming care. Along with her colleagues at WCPSS, she helps connect clients to needed care at GMHC and throughout NYC, whether “I feel the work that I it be one-on-one counseling, medication adherence support, legal assistance, or do is very important. housing. Staff members also accompany women clients to medical appointments to ensure they receive needed care. I am helping women We at GMHC have served women with sensitivity and compassion since the earliest days of the epidemic. We help women do what they need to achieve greater autonomy and self-worth through workforce development programs, relationship and parenting support groups, do for themselves. nutrition services, mental health and substance use care, housing, HIV testing, I don’t want them to financial guidance, and legal services. GMHC also offers a number of programs that specifically address women’s needs: feel they are alone.” • The Safety in Housing program provides crisis intervention, counseling, and HOPWA housing assistance to HIV-positive survivors of domestic or . • The Domestic Violence Response Team offers crisis intervention, safety planning, and care coordination to any GMHC client who has experienced domestic violence. • Women Empowering Women uses counseling and evidence- based interventions to support women at all stages of substance use recovery. • Parenting groups support for families who face the multiple challenges of caretaking, family re-integration, HIV disclosure, and permanency planning.

can’t capture everything about a young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, “ you queer person (LGBTQ) in a one-hour intake. It takes a while to get to know each .” Armstrong works in our Community Health Department, where it’s his job to know our youth clients. GMHC uses a multifaceted approach to working with young people; we offer a range of services to address the many challenges they face. “Many of the LGBT kids we work with have low self-esteem because they are repeatedly told, from a very young age, that they are lower on the human scale than other people. Their parents and society at large paint that picture for them. And if they are Black or Latino, and gay, that’s two strikes against them.” GMHC is home to the Club House—a drop-in center for young people that is specifically designed to be a safe haven for youth who feel they have nowhere else to go. Armstrong and his “We don’t forget that colleagues also travel throughout the five boroughs to meet youth where they are. they are human Through the Club House, GMHC offers programs specific to the unique needs of LGBTQ youth to help them make beings and not supported, informed decisions: support groups, education workshops, recreation activities, and HIV prevention programs. numbers.

is a haven for the hungry and never turns away a client in need of food. The Meals program provides over 100,000 hot and nutritious meals each year through the Peter Krueger Dining Room and Food Pantry. Clients living with HIV and AIDS can enjoy meals five days per week in a welcoming dining hall setting, feeding not just their bodies, but their appetites for friendship and community. “We have a diverse range of clients of all genders, races, and sexual orientations. We also have clients who have food insecurities due to their experiences with homelessness and hunger. We make sure the menu is substantial because for some, the meal in our dining room may be the only meal of the day. I also refer them to our food pantry for an emergency pantry bag, and external meals programs open during the weekends.” “I love talking with Chef Gloria works hand-in-hand with our nutritionists to put together heart-healthy menus specifically geared to meet the our clients. It is needs of those living with HIV/AIDS. Meals are prepared to help clients build immunity, manage medication side effects, and improve essential for me to health outcomes overall. The Dining Room is an opportunity to build stay in contact with community. Clients enjoy healthy meals in a welcoming, nonjudgmental space and form long-term relationships with peers, staff, the people I am and volunteers. GMHC also offers nutrition education, one-on-one nutrition counseling, and feeding.

I visited my doctor and passed out in his office, then fell into a coma. When I woke in 1981 up I was diagnosed with HIV and had 90 T-cells. My weight went from 168 to 111 pounds. I never thought I would live long enough to see 1990, let alone be here today. Back then, AIDS meant an almost certain death. I am not sure why it wasn’t that way for me. Yet, one thing I do know is that I survived because of GMHC. I was welcomed with open arms and caring hearts. One of the first programs I tried was the Buddy Program. My buddy took care of me and we have been friends for over 25 years. She helped to create stability in my life.” The Buddy Program was one of the first programs of GMHC. Today, the program continues to connect clients (from newly diagnosed to long-term survivors) with Buddy volunteers who are trained to provide emotional support through a variety of activities. A Buddy can accompany the client on errands and engage in socialization as well as act as a liaison to connect a client to services both at GMHC and in the community. “Throughout the years, I have been introduced to the Meals Program and Legal Department. More recently, I have been having individual counseling “There is a sessions. As a long-term survivor, many of the difficult issues I face include the constant reminder of death, while carrying a lot of emotional scars misconception about loss. The Mental Health services have allowed me to cleanse myself of past problems and have been supportive as I help my mother who has that because had for many years. Going to has been my life raft. There is a misconception that because people with HIV and AIDS are living people with HIV longer, that their needs are lesser. This is not true. Our needs are still drastically important and mental and AIDS are health services are imperative.” Collaborative Mental Health (CMH) is an outpatient mental health counseling program that provides living longer, both short-term and long-term counseling free of charge to eligible GMHC clients. Our goal is to help individuals improve their quality of life and health. that their needs There are a number of services which include individual, couples, family, and group counseling which address a wide range of issues. are lesser.” Our counselors are professionals from the fields of clinical social work, mental health counseling, and addiction and recovery, and have extensive experience and knowledge about the range of emotional issues associated with living with HIV/AIDS. Soon CMH will expand into our new Behavioral Health Clinic that will have services available to HIV-positive and HIV-negative people. We are also expanding our substance use programming into a new clinic. “GMHC has been my lifeline—to friends, resources, vital support and opportunities to give back through volunteering. I look at my life with profound appreciation, having known what it feels like to nearly die and come back. People still need GMHC’s programs. As someone who has been living with HIV for 27 years, I have learned to find family where I can. GMHC means family to me.”
