 Siren to Wail provides peer counseling and deploys educational material to those newly diagnosed and/or living with Hepatitis C. STW offers social services for those seeking help filling out medical forms, applying for financial aid and in need of clinical placement. We provide support groups, free/low cost testing, client counseling and referrals to doctors at no cost to our clients. In addition Siren To Wail produces public service announcements, "PSAs", for radio and television.
Siren To Wail will soon launch a series of private and community based programs designed to make young people aware of HCV, HIV and substance abuse prevention in our schools and churches.
One of our goals is to open a Hepatitis C clinic where fellow Hepatitis patients can get all of their needs met in one place in an expedient way.
If you would like to donate time, materials or money towards these efforts, please contact Siren To Wail by phone locally at (504) 943-6365 or toll free at (866) 891-4164 or by e-mail at
