8. Approach in Practice

Which workshops and discussion groups +Positive House will offer at any given time will be determinined by clients' expressions of need or interest. Workshops and discussion groups will be differentiated by topic, not by participant grouping. Participant groupings will happen by individuals’ relationships to the topics. There will be no “special safe space just for_____,” (a particular group) although the need for that option elsewhere is understood. Personal expression of cultural identifications is completely encouraged within all workshops; the distinction from other approaches is simply access: any HIV+ person who needs all or some of what is offered from a group can attend if they want to.
