Spotlight on Straight from the Heart
Tracey Dannemiller, HIV Educator, was one of the many speakers who joined us in spreading the awareness of the HIV services available to our community and educating the public about HIV/AIDS. View the video of Tracey's talk. Tracey's non-profit organization, Straight from the Heart, is run entirely by volunteer efforts. She and her team provide free educational programs on HIV/AIDS education throughout the country for all types of organizations. In 2009, they gave over 100 talks, customized to the needs of each organization. Topics include how HIV is transmitted, universal precautions, stigma, fear, and the importance of making healthy choices. The program is especially suitable for at-risk youths and includes inspirational personal stories suitable for all age groups. There are two goals Tracey and her team have in mind for their curriculum: to provide information that will prevent infection, and to provide hope for those living with the virus or their friends and family.
If you are interested in getting involved or would like to invite Tracey to speak at your company, contact her at traceyd@tcrn.org, call 863-602-4462, or write to:
