About Project VIDA

Our mission is to improve the quality of life and reduce health disparities in underserved communities by promoting self-empowerment and providing holistic health education and direct services. Project VIDA was founded in 1992 to address the urgent needs of racial and ethnic minorities. Initially, the organization provided HIV education through street outreach services to area youth. Today, we have expanded our community scope by initiating a variety of programs: direct services for people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and various prevention and health education programs.

Job Summary:

Project VIDA’s adherence counseling program is aimed at enhancing adherence to medically prescribed treatments, including antiretroviral treatment (ART), to maximize treatment outcomes. The Adherence Counselor is responsible for conducting comprehensive social investigations to identify the social, emotional, and economic needs of people living with and those at risk for HIV and AIDS and initiating appropriate case management strategies. As one means of connecting with clients, the Adherence Counselor will leverage their specialized, culturally competent care-delivery training to deliver life-sustaining nutritional resources to clients facing transportation barriers and conduct brief, identity-safe, trauma-informed face-to-face wellness assessments during each home delivery encounter. Across their client engagements, they will observe and screen for emerging structural vulnerabilities within the home environment (such as housing instability, utility shutoffs, or cognitive barriers) and immediately initiate warm internal handoffs to Case Management or Behavioral Health services to stabilize the client. They will also be responsible for documenting all service delivery outcomes, observed barriers, and screening updates weekly within secure data systems to maintain data integrity and grant reporting compliance.
