The educational program at St. Philip House is compromised of a couple of components such as providing our clients with the resources to continue their life education as well as educating local students on HIV.

HIV/Aids Education

HIV/AIDS is still an illness that requires education. As progress has been made with living with this chronic illness, awareness has dwindled. Over 10,000 people have benefitted from versions of the AIDS 101 prevention education programs and award winning curriculum. Many of our clients take pride in knowing that their stories and knowledge can bring awareness to our community. High Schools and Colleges in the Central Connecticut area frequently request our stories to be told to their staff and students through an open forum. Our clients share their stories, provide insight on living with HIV and prevention, and take questions from curious attendees. Our staff frequently shares statistics, provides practical advice on prevention, and resources should any of the students want testing, confidential counseling are simply want further information.

Client Education

Many of our clients, or family members of clients who are also in our program wish to continue their education. St. Philip House is proud to provide support in their endeavors. Through financial support that is made possible by our supporters, we often aid in the purchase of educational materials and tuition assistance as needed. Furthering education is a noble cause for any single individual, but we are especially proud to assist those who already face adversity.
