New African Peer Support
posted: 03/03/2011
Peer Support, from other Africans living with HIV who are well trained as volunteers, is now offered to Africans with HIV. George House Trust has recruited and trained a carefully selected group to help support others in similar situations.
We've produced a postcard to promote the new African HIV Peer Support Service with posters for HIV clincs and other services.
African HIV Peer Support means ...
Support from someone who knows what you’re going through.
It can really help to talk to someone, in confidence, who’s been in the same situation as you.
There are times when we all need support from someone. Maybe you’ve just been diagnosed HIV positive, are thinking about starting HIV treatments, or are worried about telling other people close to you about your HIV status?
Our African Peer Support Service gives you the chance to meet in a friendly, relaxed and completely confidential place with a fully trained George House Trust volunteer, who is also an African living with HIV in England.
They can listen to your worries, share their own experiences, and offer information and support.
How to get African Peer Support
