When COVID-19 forced us to all stay home, a lot of things changed and since then, everyone has experienced new types of stress and anxiety.

Thankfully, APLA Health was able to continue serving our clients; we had new behavioral telehealth services up and running within 3 days! Now we are able to provide 100% of our counseling appointments using telehealth.

We’ve seen some benefits to moving to behavioral telehealth. Our providers actually say that clients are more open and forthcoming now that they are at home! We’ve also seen our no- show/cancellation rates cut in half.

We’re also able to provide online video support groups to a broader area of people. People on the Westside of Los Angeles can now be in the same group as someone from Long Beach, helping bring us closer together even though we have to stay apart.
New downloadable social graphics.
If a picture can say a thousand words, then our graphics say a thousand bucks. Check out our colorful new AIDS Walk Los Angeles social graphics and digital images you can download and share with your network to get them hyped to Get With the Programs.

We’ve added new assets online for download including social media images and printable fliers. Share these works of art far and wide as you grow your fundraising network on the way to raising $1,000 and earning Star Walker status!
Get Your Team on ABC 7’s Localish

Today is the last day for Individuals to win a feature on our ABC7 special, but we’re excited to announce the second half of our fundraising challenge for this year, and this one’s just for our teams! If you’ve been looking for an extra incentive and motivation for your group, this is what you’ve been waiting for. This challenge is open to everyone who has registered onto an AIDS Walk Los Angeles 2020 team.

The Top 3 AWLA Teams who raise the most money between tomorrow, August 13 and Wednesday, August 19 at 11:59 p.m. will also have an opportunity to submit a video and be in ABC7’s Localish program! That day, our broadcast sponsor ABC7 will be highlighting AIDS Walk Los Angeles and the hard work APLA Health does for the community because of your support.

The leaders of the winning teams will be contacted and the results shared on our website and social media too.

So get fundraising!
