WOW is based on a former support program for HIV+ women in Portland, known as WIAR, or Women’s Inner-city AIDS Resource. When WIAR could no longer keep its doors open, Quest’s Women of Wisdom (WOW) Program opened in 2005 with the help of the Positive Women’s Task Force, representing a consortium of government and non- profit community-based organizations that came together to answer the need for support services for women living with HIV. The Women of Wisdom program offers psycho-social support services that unite, educate, and empower positive women. The overarching goals of the WOW program are to strengthen the capacity of women living with HIV to self-manage their own disease progression, reduce social isolation, promote community and strengthen social support networks, and employ a holistic health approach that incorporates social, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical wellness. WOW services and programs offered through Quest Center include: * Weekly support groups * One-on-one peer support from other positive women * Empowerment and life-skills workshops * Community meals * Fun monthly activity nights * Free childcare during WOW activities * Transportation assistance * Access to Quest services including non-opioid pain management, mental health therapy, trauma counseling, alcohol and drug treatment, yoga, acupuncture, and wellness retreats The WOW group meets every Wednesday at Quest-Center from 4 p.m. ''–'' 6 p.m. To learn more about WOW, please contact their facilitator at (503) 849-2704 or complete the interest form on their HIV services page. community and other support services women of wisdom (wow) 2025-11-03T04:19:56Z 2460982.6805093 Women of Wisdom (WOW) - HIV Support Services 0 info@quest-center.org Quest Center for Integrative Health (503) 238-5203 Women of Wisdom (WOW) - HIV Support Services# 3c024bb54ce0a9a9a56fe2cce86185ea
