The educational program at St. Philip House is a critical part of the St. Philip House program that affects our current and future generations. The educational program of St. Philip House is divided into different components.  The first is related to HIV/AIDS education, and the second is related to providing our clients and their families with the resources to continue their education and develop life skills.

HIV/Aids Education

Although much stride has been made, 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 program 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 life experiences, 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, or confidential counseling, that information is made available.

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 provide 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.
