DAP Talks

C.J. Tobe with Rita Gonzales and Ralph Radebaugh: Sharing about how DAP Health is focusing on health equity and resources for COVID, mental health, and ending HIV in the Coachella Valley.

Creating a consciousness that is resilient to the mind barriers caused by shame and stigma would transform us as individuals and our society.

If you've felt discrimination over race, being LGBTQ, having HIV, or finances, you might be avoiding healthcare today without knowing it.

Health equity is about speaking truth about racism's effect on public health and peoples' potential, but there's a lot of room for happy endings.

Anyone can feel shame for seeking help, but shame is dangerous for your future - especially if it keeps you from seeing a doctor or a therapist when you need to

Health equity doesn't seem to be a straight line; you've got to meet people where they are in their own life journey if you are going to make an impact. Shame looks different over generations, but it always threatens our health.

Health equity means you can access the things it takes to be healthy, but more people still don't have what they need. Ending poverty and discrimination where we live would help.

When we struggle to make sense of things happening in our world, when it seems like too much, we turn to Dr. Jill Gover to provide tips to cope and maintain our mental wellness.

Long-term Survivors living with HIV face more isolation, stigma, and depression, and it can threaten their health if left unaddressed. Listen to Dr. Gover's good news for any DAP client experiencing this challenge.
