You can influence funding decisions by joining or contacting the bodies that advise the San Francisco Department of Public Health about how to spend AIDS dollars.
Tell groups such as the People with AIDS (PWA) Caucus of the Ryan White CARE Council, the CARE Council itself, the HIV Prevention Planning Council, and the Treatment on Demand Council why counseling, support, and other mental health services are important.
