We attended Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSAgov), HHS's National Ryan White Conference on HIV Care & Treatment this week and we left charged and inspired. We heard from Ryan White’s mother, Jeanne White-Ginder, and were reminded of his tenacity, moved by his advocacy, and his commitment to fighting against stigma and educating the nation. We heard from the humans who are administering the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program across the nation and within communities. We heard from people with lived experience. One theme ran through – humanity. To advance HIV care and address workforce challenges in the communities that need it the most, we need to center the humans.  As we reflect on this, we’re committed to continuing the conversation on ending HIV stigma.

"Trusted managers can reiterate benefits and support health-seeking behaviors. I can't stress this enough... employees need to feel comfortable, they need to feel trusted, it is paramount," Matt Escoubas emphasized at the Wellness in the Workplace Summit on Monday. Hosted by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the event highlighted best practices for recovery-ready workplaces, how to strengthen the behavioral health workforce, and foster employer buy-in. As our Director of Social Impact and Serve, Matt shared actionable steps from our Workplace Recovery Survey, including using benefits like paid leave, clearly communicating these benefits, creating spaces for mutual support meetings, and fostering a culture of open dialogue about SUD recovery. Supporting recovery in the workplace isn't just beneficial—it's essential.
