Men Support

This meet up was formed to offer men a comfortable venue and space, for men to talk about issues that challenge their lives, gain feedback and support from each other. The group was originally started by a few men who felt they was a need to have such a group. To date the number has grown up to 40 members who attend CAFPH support groups and also access other services regularly and this number continues to grow.

The Group Aims

• All men living with and affected by HIV and AIDIS need to work together to address issues that affect their Health.
• To allow men to share experience and skills on how to copy and live well with HIV.
• Provide a strong sense of unity, friendship and respect so that men can talk openly about HIV, stigma and integration and respect.
• All members of our group to access other services and arrange home and hospital visit to assist men to gain more confidence and to feel empowered.
• Arrange and invite speakers to come and talk to our group on a range of subject’s e.g. sexual health, Immigration issues, housing benefits, information and advice, homelessness and other.
