Peer Navigation is an individualized level of support available to CAP clients in CAP SW Washington’s Vancouver and Longview offices.

These services are provided in both one-on-one and group settings with an emphasis on reducing social isolation, HIV-related Stigma, medical engagement, medication adherence, and engaging clients lost to care.

We have peer groups that do not require working with a peer one on one. Any CAP client with HIV can join. In Vancouver, on the second and fourth Thursday of the month we hold a zoom peer group and in Longview on the second and fourth Thursday of the month we hold in-person peer groups. From time to time, we also hold in-person events in Vancouver.
