Concurrent Workshop: ā€œIā€™m Living with It, Not Dying from It!ā€: Lessons Learned from a Community-led, Pilot Teletherapy Group for Older Women Living with Depression and HIV
Time
10:45 AM - 12:15 PM
Description

The majority of people living with HIV in New York State are over 50, with HIV and its syndemic drivers disproportionately affecting older women and people of color. Our community-participatory team utilized the ADAPT-ITT model to adapt an evidence-based intervention for teletherapy, leading to an online pilot targeting stigma and depression among a group of older women in the Bronx, NY. In this workshop, we will discuss the adaptation and pilot process, teach the steps of community-participatory intervention adaptation, and role play a session including a stigma-targeting mindfulness intervention.
