What are Ryan White Services?
Ryan White was only 13 years of age when he was diagnosed with AIDS after a blood transfusion in 1984. Discriminated against when he tried to return to school, his family fought for his rights and garnered national attention.
Ryan surpassed his doctor’s expectations, surviving another five years. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) honors his memory by providing a wide range of services to people with HIV/AIDS.
Canopy Medical Clinic is proud to offer mental health services to all individuals living with HIV/AIDS, including those who are part of RWHAP.

There are a couple of ways you can participate in Ryan White Services, including:
- Mental Health Medication Management
- Mental Health Therapy

Canopy Peer Navigation Program:
Peer-to-Peer Support Program
Canopy’s Peer Navigators are not licensed or trained mental health practitioners; they are people living with or who have lived experience with HIV/AIDS who want to share their experience navigating challenging situations that may result from living with HIV/AIDS. They also can be a sympathetic sounding board people can reach out to for support.
If you would like more information about becoming a Peer Navigator, using your learned experience to help others, please reach out to Canopy Medical Clinic for more information.
Canopy Peer Support Groups
For people who prefer a group setting, Canopy Peer Support Groups allow you to connect with others through Zoom® online meetings. Various topics are presented, often by experts in medicine, mental health, nutrition, and more.
You can choose whether to turn your camera on or off during visits and remain anonymous if you prefer. For many people, having a place to openly discuss topics related to their condition is incredibly rewarding.
If you’d like more information, the team at Canopy Medical Clinic is here to help.
