Details

The goals of this event are to present MyLifeMyMind, an evidence-based personalized program to protect brain health and improve quality of life (QOL) in persons aging with HIV (PLWH) and obtain feedback from attendees on various aspects of the program. The MyLifeMyMind program empowers PLWH interested in taking charge of their health by providing evidence-based information about modifiable contributors to cognition and QOL, personalized self-management recommendations, and information to bring to their clinician when medical intervention is appropriate. Additionally, a companion Toolkit for community organization-led group sessions to support those engaged in the MyLifeMyMind program has been developed. The content is adapted for delivery in three modalities: in-person groups; virtual groups; and in dyads with the help of a partner. As part of the ancillary event, we will introduce the program to attendees and gather feedback. We will present the website, self-assessment questions and report, self-management resources and group-session materials (including vignette character portraits, session outline and activities, participant manual and facilitator manual with evaluation logbook). Attendance is limited at 50 participants, to include PLWH, community service providers, HIV clinicians and funders. Attendees are asked to register ahead of time. Please note we are seeking representation from various groups in the HIV community. In order to have balanced representation of these groups, we will review sign-ups and allocate spots accordingly, with attendance capped at 50 participants. Your attendance will be confirmed one week before the event. Breakfast will be provided and 5 gift cards will be raffled to attendees.
