ADAPT: An Exercise in Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transgender (GLBT) Sensitivity and Cultural Competency Homophobia is alive and well in the State of Michigan. It's just one of the many co-factors to HIV infection. For over five years the department of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Intervention Section (HAPIS) of the State of Michigan Health Department has supported MAPP in the implementation of this two hour program for numerous youth centers, substance abuse and mental health agencies, universities and colleges. Over 5,000 people have gone through our ADAPT program. ADAPT lays the ground work towards sensitivity and cultural competency in servicing consumers who are Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transgender. The interactive format allows participants to explore their values, attitudes and beliefs about interacting with GLBT consumers. The ADAPT program creates a "safe space" for self-exploration, evaluation and understanding to take place, thereby providing more sensitive and culturally competent service providers. There is no fee to have MAPP's knowledgeable and well trained staff conduct the ADAPT program. For more additional information call MAPP at 248-545-1435.
