Positive Self-Management Program for those 50 years and over

Our online Positive Self-Management Program for those 50 years and over with HIV is happening every Tuesday night 6pm-8.30pm for six weeks, commencing Tuesday 28 July and ending Tuesday 1 September.

This program can help improve your quality of life. The sessions are highly interactive, where mutual support and success will build your confidence in your ability to manage your own health and maintain an active and fulfilling life.

Subjects covered in the program include:

• Connect with others and breakdown that isolation.
