SJAA’s PHILOSOPHY

SJAA employs evidence-based practices to ensure consistent, quality services to its persons served.

SJAA defines culture broadly to include populations and subpopulations to include IDU, MSM, transgender, HIV , women, and incarcerated. SJAA will dedicate resources to build knowledge, awareness, skills, and action plans to address a range of learning and to appreciate and benefit from diversity.

SJAA is committed to developing and implementing programs that will seek to integrate a broad range of services and intervention mixes that provide persons served the resources to improve their quality of life. SJAA will dynamically utilize creative approaches to HIV prevention of incorporating multi-level services that include: individualized outreach, interventions delivered to individuals, interventions delivered to groups and comprehensive risk counseling services, and referrals where appropriate.
