The Women/Mujeres Abriendo Pasos (MAP) Program is a peer-to-peer intervention training program for women. Participants are current or former substance abusers who are affected by, or at risk for, HIV. Trainees learn the skills needed to provide outreach and education to other women practicing these at-risk behaviors.

Students build a solid understanding of harm reduction and HIV/Hepatitis prevention through experimental learning.

During the eight-week training program, students build a solid understanding of harm reduction and HIV/Hepatitis prevention through experimental learning techniques focused on personal development. The twice-weekly, 4½ hour sessions prepare them to become valued partners in our efforts to improve public health.

In return for their commitment, each participant receives an allowance and, upon graduation, becomes certified to practice SACHR's harm reduction approach.
