Record Setting Graduates from ICAN’s Probation Program

Posted by Dr. Bright on May 11, 2009 at 09:41 AM

Individuals coming out of the criminal justice system are statistically at higher risk for contracting HIV infection. For this reason, in partnership with the Lee County Court System, ICAN offers probationers a three-hour HIV awareness class which earns them 15 hours of community service. The success of the ICAN Probationer Program can be seen through its expansion from 473 participants in 2007 to 888 participants in 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the number of participants has increased further to an annualized average of more than 1,300 participants. Similar significant growth has occurred with ICAN's HIV Counseling and Testing Program.

Formerly a low functioning program in 2007 with less than 100 tests conducted, ICAN administered 730 free and confidential HIV tests in 2008. ICAN is on track to conduct more than 1,500 HIV tests in 2009. If you're in need of community service credit, call 239-337-2391 to sign-up for a probation class held every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. at ICAN's Ft. Myers headquarters ($20 cash to be paid at the door).

ICAN's Probationer Program has expanded to Collier County. Probationers in Collier recieve three hours of credit for $30 cash. Classes are interesting and informative and held in the evening for convenience.

Call 239-261-0096 to sign-up for a class in Naples.
