MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT
GROUPS
BEHIV’s support groups address
the critical needs for persons living with HIV and AIDS
to talk openly and honestly with other people who are
also living with this disease. This kind of peer support
helps reduce isolation and encourages people to share
resources and strategies for coping.
All
of BEHIV’s support groups are facilitated by trained
mental health professionals. Currently, BEHIV offers
an ongoing closed support group for persons living and
HIV and self-esteem and a peer-led group assisting
those living with HIV/AIDS and dealing with substance
abuse issues. A new support group, focusing on issues facing women and HIV, will begin in the Spring of 2008.
For
