you for coming into chat; we will be with you as soon as possible.
Please be patient until a counselor can join the conversation. |
realuphuman: 15:07 | Hi Gregory |
Gregory: 15:08 | Whats going on? |
realuphuman: 15:09 | Over
the past 6 or so months the strong sense of sadness is within my heart.
I will explain.... but I would ask of you something --- to perform a
couple of google searches. For what it will show is some of the
postings I have in terms of suicide that is out on the web. And when I
mean this feeling is getting stronger, I mean seriously.... crying for
hours at a time. |

and Google Search [ HudPublicHousing-Corruption-DroveMeToSuicide ] |
Gregory: 15:12 | ok, i'm unable to perform the google searches at this time but please explain or give me the main issue troubling you today |
realuphuman: 15:15 | The
haters of the Colorado Health Network akd Denver Colorado Aids Project
that were hating on me for an 11 month hate and harassment campaign have
been allowed to win. I was evicted. The Glassdoor Reviews for Colorado
Health Network appear on the site 2 weeks after I had to leave town and
return to my childhood home in San Bernardino where I am writing to you
today. You see, it is the social services network themselves that are
hating on me and I have no avenue to conduct a correction amends to this
situation... no resource at correction. I am lost in my ability to
cope with silence any longer. No one will acknowedge the truth to these
circumstances. |
realuphuman: 15:16 | |
realuphuman: 15:16 | That is a link to a the Employee Review of Cascade Aids Project --- wrong link. |
realuphuman: 15:18 | |
realuphuman: 15:18 | The Link is Valid within this chat. That means it is valid for you to link to that external resource. |
realuphuman: 15:19 | This collaborates my story and what I have been telling community --- but no one is listening to me. |
Gregory: 15:20 | ok,
thanks for sharing this information. We are all living during a time of
unprecedented discrimination , bitterness and hatred. It appears your
discrimination has been taken to another level, up close and personal.
tell me what resources have you tried since the decision was rendered? |
realuphuman: 15:21 | π’ |
Gregory: 15:21 | I feel your pain and i am here to listen. |
realuphuman: 15:23 | Well,
I would like to incorporate my story into the Ryan White social
services care act administtation - so there can be reprimands issued..
But no one wants to talk about this #ConspiracyExposed that I have
found in HIV/AIDS Social Services that allows haters to hate on
community members where the hate source is the actual social services
agency themselves. I can't live on my own without the haters returning
to hate on me. I know that once I move out on my own, the hate will
return. It has happened to me in two separate locations, Oakland in
2005/2006 and Denver 2016. |
realuphuman: 15:24 | |
Gregory: 15:25 | could you paste it for me to read? |
realuphuman: 15:26 | This message was not received properly. Please request it be resent. |
realuphuman: 15:26 | Its too long to place in one message. Have you read it complete? |
realuphuman: 15:26 | I will paste it in sections. |

I worked at Cascade AIDS Project full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The community members living with HIV are some of the most dynamic and
resilient people you may ever meet. Working with those who are still
suffering profoundly impacts your deeply and personally. CAP has a
mostly young vibe and the work is interesting due to its complex nature.
Downtown location is convenient. |
realuphuman: 15:27 | Cons
Management
is hostile to the union represented staff. The organization only works
with a narrow part of the community yet markets something different to
look more comprehensive than it is. Much of upper management is
threatened by change, is conflict avoidant to the point of dysfunction
and is retaliatory when confronted. Often, people with poor skills are
promoted to leadership and this creates frustration and a sense of
unfairness highlighting backroom agreements meant to undermine. Morale
is dreadful. In the past few years most staff have been fired, pressured
to leave, or asked to work with compromised ethics. Gay, black, HIV+,
and trans identified staff have been systematically marginalized. CAP
treated HIV+ staff as second class citizens, ignored client request for
change, and silences critics. If you go against CAP, even if justified,
you will find it hard to work in the HIV community in Portland. The
board is completely distant from the staff and the clients being served,
and act condescending and unhelpful. You would think if 50% of the
staff leave in a few months time, it might be a wake up call that there
are big problems that can't be dismissed as "disgruntled" staff. Since
CAP is the only game in town for HIV related needs, they have no checks
and balances and no accountability when they injure the community they
are claiming they serve. |
realuphuman: 15:28 | Advice
to Management
Stop displaying images and raising money through deception. Admit you do
not serve the community at large and close your doors. CAP is not about
HIV anymore, it's about retaining jobs and keeping people working at
the expense of programing and directives that empower. If you want to be
a LGBTQ health center then so be it, but do not pretend you are helping
people living with HIV, because you are not. You are only focusing on
addicts and the mentally ill. Also, an LGBTQ health group or HIV group
with no gay or HIV+ leaders, or people of color managing direct services
means you will be just like any other colonized public health care
model that delivers incompetent care. The community does not need public
health zombies, we have them already. We also do not need tokenized
minorities to cover for the heteronormative, white, middle class faux
professionalism that is the root of the HIV pandemic to begin with, and
abundantly present in CAP management's ranks. There is a big problem
when the public adores you and your clients and the community you claim
to serve would rather go without then be at the mercy of a place they
distrust and dislike. |
realuphuman: 15:28 | Now
that is a review that is outside of my direct involvements. But it is a
foundation that gives you an idea of what is happening. I can provide
you with Colorado Health Network's Glassdoor Reviews that collaborate my
hate/harassment story. |
realuphuman: 15:29 | Its the retaliation factor that I am trying to avoid a repeat situation again. |
Gregory: 15:31 | ok, i see your point, so with all that being said what is your strategy? How do you plan to avoid the situation being repeated? |
realuphuman: 15:32 | i
can't do anything about it --- that is what is so frustrating and makes
me cry.... seriously cry. I can't get anyone to ackowledge this story
in the social services agencies to promise me that if the hate returns,
that I have a resource to identify the haters and have the hate stopped.
It is serious and I am at my wits end telling people that I am going
to commit suicide if this is not fixed. |
realuphuman: 15:33 | |
Gregory: 15:36 | What
other options have you considered? Suicide will allow the aggressor to
win the war. You may have lost a few battles but as long as you have
life, and a clear mind there is the possibility of winning a victory. |
realuphuman: 15:37 | I can't figure out a strategy to allow me to live on my own -- apart from my family home. And this is not fair. |

Advice to Management
Get to know employees better |
Gregory: 15:39 | Great, I'm glad to hear you are definitely committed to the challenge of exposing corruption. |
realuphuman: 15:39 | But
no one internal of the system is allowing my story to come forward. i
need a written promise that commits to allowing the haters to lose if
the hate returns. What is so wrong with that request? |
realuphuman: 15:41 | Gregory,
I am giving up to suicide ---- because no one is acknowledging my
emails, my needs, my tweets, in the way I need them to acknowledge this
story and issue me a written promise. |
realuphuman: 15:42 | The old paradigm allows the haters to win. I need a new paradigm. |
Gregory: 15:45 | Nothing
is wrong with the request. I feel your frustration, i can tell it is
effecting you both mentally , emotionally and perhaps psychically. i
agree you need a new paradigm No one who has ever enacted any kind of
change has ever enacted that change without opposition. The one things
that leaders of change all possessed in common with the tenacity to
persevere against all obstacles. |
Gregory: 15:49 | In
order to create a new paradigm, you must take care of your body,
emotionally, as well as psychically. Have you been getting enough rest,
and eating properly? Is there anyone you can talk with when your feeling
lonely, frustrated? |
realuphuman: 15:52 | I
have my mother here. and I have a psychiatrist that has prescribed me
medicine for my bipolar condtition. But this hurt that I feel inside is
deep --- both situations of hate has led to eviction when it really was
not my fault. This is so unfair to recycle this paradigm on me ---
without a change intervention --- to allow me a control method so that I
can stop the haters from hating and harassing on me permanently. Like I
said, in Denver, the source of this hate was the Denver Colorado Health
Network themselves. More Glassdoor review to collaborate the truth of
these cirumstances. |

Management
is awful. They do not trust their employees with anything - not even
tissues. If you want a box of tissues you have to go to upstairs and
talk to the them. One person stores them in his office.
They had a big "investigation" because two employees quit because of
racism and discrimination within the organization - the "investigation"
was "inconclusive". They had a meeting with all of the staff (that was
announced 24 hrs prior). Regarding discrimination. It was said that we
were diverse "we have one of everything". How can an organization thrive
when a top official is racist?
If you are a woman or person of color, it is very hard to move up in the
org and be heard. If you are a cute, white male, you will do well in
this company.
Turnover is high! |
realuphuman: 15:54 | Advice to Management
Maybe start with a little bit of respect (for clients and staff)? |
realuphuman: 15:55 | BTW: I am going to be using this chat saved [ CTRL-S ] page to send to my new case management interface. Is that ok? |
