The Don't Forget Us project is an initiative to prevent substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis among American Indians living in Baltimore City, Maryland. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) under the Minority AIDS Initiative, Don't Forget Us represents a multi-pronged effort to reach one
of Baltimore's most vulnerable minority communities.
A collaborative initiative of
Native American LifeLines
and
Friends Research Institute, Inc
The prevention program and health education component of Don't Forget Us consists of four weekly sessions lasting approximately 90 minutes, in addition to a guided-discussion social period where a meal is served. Many of the American Indians receiving services live in poverty, and the inclusion of a meal in program activities has helped disadvantaged individuals and families get nutritious sustenance, while simultaneously aiding recruitment efforts. The program takes place at Native American LifeLines.

If you are American Indian/Alaskan Indian and would like to participate, please contact Travis at (410) 837-2258 or Travis.nal@verizon.net.
