Support Group for Individuals with HIV/AIDS

Please note: This group is temporarily suspended while seeking a new meeting location.  Contact Dr. Barneclo for more information.

This support group will be an anonymous and safe experience for individuals where they may discuss stressors, learn from others about acquiring services and coping, recognize that they are not alone, or work through the grieving process of having acquired HIV.  The group initially will be led by trained mental health professionals with the intent of eventually allowing the group members to lead.
