NCAP offers support and a variety of services to people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones. All of our services are CONFIDENTIAL and FREE OF CHARGE.
CASE MANAGEMENT
Anyone affected by HIV/AIDS can meet with the case manager to discuss personal questions and concerns about the disease, relationships, and/or resources available.
The case manager assists clients in identifying and prioritizing specific issues and concerns, and together, they develop a plan to address these issues.
The case manager is experienced in connecting people with medical providers, entitlement programs, support groups, and other service programs, including the Connecticut AIDS Drug Assistance Program (CADAP) and the Connecticut AIDS Insurance Program that pays clients' COBRA payments.

Some of the many ways the case manager can help clients include finding housing or food, connecting with a physician, telling their loved ones about their illness, or just listening.
