Seniors! Check out this update via Alabama Department of Senior Services and stay safe!

We have been made aware of “Senior Check Benefits” checks being mailed to individuals in Alabama. The "Senior Check Benefits" scam involves fraudulent, unsolicited checks mailed to seniors, often accompanied by letters promising insurance or government benefits to trick them into sharing personal bank details or paying fees. These checks are fake and designed to steal identity or money through aggressive sales tactics. Depositing the check could put you at risk of sharing your personal information. AL SMP 1-800-243-5463

Language reinforcing stereotypes, or implying blame, can reduce care engagement, increase internalized stigma, and negatively impact mental health. The Well Project, along with a group of expert advisors, sought to understand the extent to which cisgender and transgender women and nonbinary adults living with HIV experience stigmatizing language and the impact of stigmatizing language on the individual.
