OUR PROGRAMS

SAYFSM facilitates an HIV support group that meets twice a month. Participants and their families receive wellness education and emotional support.

Through our Support Services, we have the potential to make a real and positive change in the community. This is one of our key areas of focus here at Sub-Saharan African Youth and Family Services in Minnesota, and a source of much success for our Non-Profit Organization. We provide:

• referrals to clinics, mental health providers, legal services, ESL classes
• assistance with basic needs, such as housing, furniture, household items, food, clothing, employment
• translation and interpreting assistance
• transportation

Most of our efforts pertaining to educating the community about HIV prevention, presenting at community events, churches, and schools. We emphasize in developing culturally and linguistically appropriate HIV-educational materials and provides HIV counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) at all outreach events, at the SAYFSM office, or at places of an individual’s choosing.

Join other African women in a friendly environment to learn basic sewing/quilting skills. We are accepting registrations for the program currently. For more information call us at 651-644-3983 (M-F 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM)
