For 2021, A Family Affair strives to achieve the following three (3) goals: 

1. Introduce Common Threads, a prevention and vocational intervention for addressing intersectional traumatic and stigmatizing life experiences for women living with HIV. The prevention or health education aspect of Common Threads helps participants understand and explore traumatic lived experiences that may have contributed to acquiring HIV. The vocational rehabilitation aspect of Common Threads provides participants with information on conducting a social enterprise – in this instance – a microenterprise, an economic community collective where women make and sell their crafts for supplemental financial support. 

2. Advocate For The Family Planning Needs of Women. A Family Affair is committed to ensuring women understand gender-specific human and sexual development across the life span and understand how to care and advocate for themselves during their pre-reproductive (childhood/teen), reproductive (Young to middle adulthood) and post-reproductive years (middle adulthood to senior or seasoned years).

3. Address Related Health Conditions that are exacerbating the spread of HIV and leading to poorer health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted diseases inclusive of Hepatitis C, substance use, mental health disorders (i.e., depression and anxiety), and poverty.
