AIDS crisis

In 1984 Levithan trained at GMHC as a buddy and began volunteer work with seriously ill patients. In 1986, he founded an alternative support group, The Healing Circle, and became actively involved, eventually leading groups. By 1987 the group had several hundred attendees at 3 weekly groups, representing an alternative to the mainstream agencies which were preparing people to die. The Manhattan Center for Living was formed and then in 1991 Levithan began working as a counselor, group facilitator, and later, board member at Friends in Deed.
