	In addition to HIV/AIDS-related activities associated with the APA convention, APA is a cosponsoring a community day conference entitled Family Front and Centre: The Role of Families in Adapting to and Preventing HIV/AIDS, which is a special initiative of current APA President James H. Bray, PhD. The community day conference will be held during the first day of the APA convention on Thursday August 6, 2009, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the MaRS Centre, 101 College Street, Toronto, Canada.
The community day conference will explore the experiences of families affected by HIV/AIDS and ways that both the United States and Canada can improve prevention and support services. Several successful American programs will be presented and examined for their applicability in a Canadian context. Other sponsors of the conference include the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Ontario HIV Treatment Network, The Teresa Group, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research–Institute of Infection and Immunity. Please see the agenda for a full list of activities for the Family Front and Centre community day. Those attending the APA convention must register separately for the community day conference.
