The Treatment division creates community-facing resources for each of its initiatives as well as resources that touch upon several aspects of our work. Below is a collection of current resources that have been developed by the Treatment division.
Resources:

National HIV & Aging Advocacy Network (NHAAN)
The National HIV & Aging Advocacy Network (NHAAN) is a network of individuals advocating for our collective and cumulative interests as persons aging with HIV. We envision a world in which all people thrive as they age with HIV: physically, socially, financially, spiritually, emotionally and in all aspects of our lives. The Network is an unincorporated project sponsored by NMAC as part of its HIV 50+ Strong and Healthy program.

Educational Webinar Series
Each year, Treatment organizes online educational webinar series that deal with the latest information and research regarding aging and HIV, advocacy and policy for older people, and report backs from the latest HIV conferences, such as USCHA, the Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit, IAS, and CROI.
The purpose of these series is to ensure our communities have a sustained learning experience and that information is presented in a way that is accessible to communities that most need the information. NMAC regularly collaborates with GMHC/ACRIA, FAPP, CDC, and other groups to develop, coordinate, and promote educational activities and webinars.

Language Justice
Over the span of 12 months, NMAC partnered with Tilde to develop an inclusive process aimed at identifying enhanced language justice practices. The initiative advanced with the leadership of Damián Cabrera and Moisés Agosto, together with the Language Justice Committee.
Through a combination of internal and external activities, this project successfully gathered important insights on language justice. The report presents highlights from NMAC’s own language justice progression and encompasses reflections from staff and participants, best practices, and priorities for broader implementation. These findings not only contribute to NMAC’s work towards equity but are also aimed at supporting others seeking to incorporate a language-focused approach.
