On June 22, SunServe Mental Health and AHF will officially launch a new mental health initiative created to expand access, deepen support, and respond to the real needs of LGBTQ+ people and the broader community we serve.

We invite you to join us for an afternoon brunch announcing this important partnership and the work ahead.

FREE2BE speaks directly to the heart of this initiative. Every person deserves the freedom to live authentically, to seek support without shame, and to be met with care that understands who they are and what they are carrying.

This gathering will bring together community leaders, elected officials, local media, supporters, partners, advocates, and friends of SunServe for an afternoon centered on visibility, connection, and impact.

This plan restores access to the single-pill formulary (Biktarvy) and is another step in the right direction! 👏👏👏

“After months of rallies and lobbying by advocates, more than 12,000 Floridians who participate in the AIDS Drug Assistance Program will once again qualify to receive life-saving medication after lawmakers reached an agreement Sunday night to reverse cuts to the program.”

“The proposed state budget for 2026-27 includes $75 million to the Florida Department of Health to run the AIDS Drug Assistance Program through next June, restores eligibility to 12,000 to 16,000 more Floridians living with HIV, and reverses the drug restrictions the Department of Health had imposed.”

“It also requires an independent organization to monitor the program, which would require greater transparency from the Department of Health.”

“Florida’s health department walked away from people living with HIV. Lawmakers brought them back,” said Esteban Wood, director of Advocacy & Legislative Affairs at AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
