The Eddystone Trust offers a range of peer support groups for people living with HIV in the Southwest. All groups are held online, providing a safe, welcoming space to connect, share experiences, and support each other on your journey to living well with HIV.
What we offer:
- Regular online peer support groups for all genders, men (including trans men), and women (including trans women).
- Special rotating groups for newly diagnosed people, those ageing with HIV, young people under 35, and people new to the UK.
- Facilitated sessions with Eddystone staff and occasional guest speakers.
- Opportunities to discuss topics like medication adherence, mental health, relationships, sharing your HIV status, and more.
- A safe space to check in, listen, and share with others who understand your experiences.
Why join? Whether you want to talk, listen, or simply connect, our groups are open to everyone living with HIV in the Southwest. You can expect to live as long as someone who is not HIV+, and our groups are here to help you thrive, look after your mental health, and build supportive relationships.
