Guidelines in Arabic and English for Conducting HIV Support Groups

Produced by FHI 360 in Egypt, these Arabic and English guidelines are designed to support conducting HIV support groups. Funded by the Drosos and Ford Foundations, the booklet identifies principles, benefits, and criteria for conducting effective support groups, while also providing material that can help support group facilitators and/or members in mentoring caregivers, families, and people living with HIV. According to FHI 360, an HIV support group is a community of patients, family members, and friends dedicated to dealing with HIV together. It is an appropriate way to delivering psychological, emotional, and educational support to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), their caregivers, and family.
