 The Community Wellness Project (CWP) in partnership with Queen Of Peace Center (QOPC) and Missouri Institute Of Mental Health (MIMH) is providing Targeted Capacity Expansion for Substance Abuse Treatment/HIV Services for African American Women. CWP provides outreach recruitment, identifies, and seeks to engage African American Women who are at high risk for HIV infection and/or already infected and link them into pre-treatment services, including: treatment readiness for 30 days residential substance abuse treatment, HIV counseling and testing along with providing test results. This project has been successful in developing behavioral change by engaging targeted population into substance abuse treatment, connecting with recovery groups, providing referrals to available housing and employment opportunities.
