The 3rd Annual Coastal Bend HIV/AIDS & SUBSTANCE ABUSE CONFERENCE
New Date: December 10th

 

The Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, established on April 30, 1986, by community volunteers to provide support for friends and family members infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. CBAF serves twelve counties: Aransas, Bee, Brooks, Duval, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Live Oak, McMullen, Nueces, Refugio, and San Patricio.

CBAF provides services to the community through case management of nearly 400 HIV/AIDS clients on a regular basis, plus three outreach projects: Project CARE (Community Awareness Reinforcing Education), which serves an average of 3,000 individuals yearly; and Project FREE and Project BESOS which together reach approximately 5,400 individuals annually.

Our vision at CBAF is to enhance social services in the Coastal Bend area through outreach, education, prevention and intervention; actively encourage and support mobilization through group and individual advocacy; and leverage resources to support service delivery systems to address community needs. Our primary goal is to empower individuals and families to take control of their lives through improved decision-making skills and overall wellness and health promotion initiatives.

CBAF will achieve individual and community empowerment through evidence-based strategies to provide prevention, intervention, testing, and referrals for client services and access into care for medical, substance abuse, and mental health services.

Through community and resource mobilization, CBAF is a front-runner, dedicated to the prevention of HIV/AIDS, tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse through our educational and outreach programs in the community and schools. Through these programs, those individuals most at risk—our young people—are given information, testing, counseling and life choices that help keep them substance abuse and disease free.

Quality Management
CBAF has a developed quality assurance program that is comprised of the administrative staff (ED, PD, HR, CFO), the (5) Program Coordinators, and a Physician that serves CBAF clients. The Performance Improvement Committee (PIC) ensures cost and program effectiveness for service delivery. The PIC meets quarterly to review program service delivery goals, performance measures and outcomes, and makes appropriate adjustments to for continuity of care and cost containment.

Program Management
Individual Program Coordinators (PC) are responsible for day-to-day operation, monitoring, tracking of service delivery goals, direct supervision, training, and management for department staff and development of program operating procedures.
