McLean County AIDS Task Force

Comprehensive Risk Counseling Services (CRCS)

• This service consists of at least six sessions of counseling to help individuals achieve their goals for safer behaviors.
• This method is particularly helpful to those people who are either HIV+ or are at high risk for contracting HIV. Couples may also be seen together to help them obtain a healthier life.
• CRCS uses client-centered communication and motivational interviewing. CRCS can help you reach your risk reduction goals.

Risk Reduction Counseling (RRC)

• This service is very similar to CRCS, but consists of only one to five sessions of counseling.
• Change can be overwhelming if it approached too quickly. In fact, many people will retreat to unhealthy behaviors if the change is too great.
• RRC utilizes the Stages of Change model to meet you where you are at behaviorally. RRC helps you take the next step towards a gradual change.
