Strongest Link AID Services, Inc.

OUR MISSION
The mission of Strongest Link is to address the HIV/AIDS needs in Essex County by:
Providing compassionate support services for those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS
Educating the community about HIV/AIDS and its impact, emphasizing the human face of the disease
Providing a link to HIV/AIDS related services through referrals to providers offering specified care programs

Over the past 20 years we have become known as the primary source of multiple services for those affected by HIV/AIDS in Essex County. We are recognized as leaders in the HIV/AIDS community, with a well-earned reputation for excellence. The organization has evolved with the changing HIV/AIDS pandemic and continues to adapt our services and programs to meet the needs of our clients. We work very closely with area providers of affordable housing, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, food pantries and more in order to best serve our clients and the community.

Strongest Link was founded in 1988 as a volunteer-driven, grassroots organization. As a leader in HIV/AIDS support programs, Strongest Link established the first peer led support group and education program on the North Shore. In 1990, Strongest Link evolved into a professionally staffed non-profit AIDS service organization (ASO). Today we have committed staff and volunteers working hard to meet the changing needs of our clients and community through the provision of Case Management services and the Strongest Link Cornerstone Wellness Center.

There are well documented studies that show the links between HIV status, low socio-economic status, homelessness, addiction and other chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular Disease and Hepatitis. This powerful combination of factors, specific to each client, is what Strongest Link works to address. While each situation is different, the basic needs remain the same. With stable housing, a big challenge for many of our clients, they are able to better manage their disease, practice good nutrition and as a result stay healthier. With access to nutritious food, clients experience less symptoms and side effects and are able to be more productive and engaged. Strongest Link's Wellness Center, Cornerstone,  offers a safe place to connect with peers and share support as well as access free wellness activities, stress is reduced and a stronger foundation for health is maintained. With supportive, coordinated and trusted providers for health care and other treatment needs such as mental health or substance abuse services, our clients are able to engage in consistent, coordinated care and have better health outcomes. There is no such thing as the typical client; we serve those who are both newly diagnosed and those who have lived with the disease for many years, both men and women, of many different and diverse backgrounds. At Cornerstone on any given day, sitting around the kitchen table, Cornerstone hosts the pageantry of humanity. The common ground is the experience of living with HIV/AIDS, and Cornerstone provides the one space where clients can come together in a community of peer support. At Cornerstone, we go beyond disease management to support improved quality of life for underserved individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Essex County, MA.
