We offer free, onsite HIV testing along with medical referrals for a variety of care, including counseling, HIV prevention and treatment, and reproductive health. Staff is well-informed on community healthcare resources, and frequently offers its testing and referral services through outreach opportunities at third-party events.
HIV screening is available onsite during business hours by certified staff. These services follow a peer-led, trauma-informed approach to testing and linkage to care. Education, linkage to PrEP (HIV prevention medication), and health literacy support are provided for our BSA community through information sessions and topics covered in the testing sessions, within our support groups, and during linkage appointments.
​Brave Space Alliance launched our Behavioral Health initiative in July 2024 in partnership with Center on Halsted, Lu Rocha Counseling Services, P.C., and Quantum Counseling, Inc. We believe that health and well-being encompass the state of our minds, bodies, and spirits, which are interconnected. Through peer learning sessions and individual and collective therapy, community members receive guidance and support from culturally competent and trauma-informed clinicians in the areas of mental health, lifestyle, substance use, patterns of behavior, interpersonal relationships and more.
