FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (26 DE ENERO DE 2015) - Care Resource, a South Florida-based nonprofit organization, along with Broward House, announces the launch of Positive Perspectives. This custom-made support group is for those living with and affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or most-at-risk of acquiring HIV. Positive Perspectives will include a series of strength-based discussions, led by peers and a clinical therapist. Beginning in January, the group will meet at Fusion in Wilton Manors (2304 NE 7th Ave.) cada cuarto lunes del mes de 6:30 p.m. a 8 p.m.
Las Perspectivas Positivas ayudarán a aquellos que se enfrentan a la adversidad y luchan para lidiar con el dolor emocional, que a menudo resulta de ser VIH positivo, o afectado y con alto riesgo de contraer el virus. Los afectados a menudo pueden confiar en la solución temporal para disminuir el dolor al participar en un ciclo de abuso y recaída de drogas. Por lo tanto, este grupo proporcionará un ambiente seguro para conectarse con otros y ayudará a encontrar fuerza dentro del apoyo social provisto.
Las Perspectivas Positivas beneficiarán a los participantes al seguir los principios del programa de doce pasos, que a menudo se usa para guiar a quienes se recuperan de la adicción a las drogas, el alcoholismo u otros problemas de comportamiento. El programa ofrecerá apoyo imparcial y recursos actuales de numerosas organizaciones locales para satisfacer las diferentes necesidades de cada miembro. Perspectivas positivas asume que cada miembro no estará al mismo nivel en su proceso de cambio, y no tiene la intención de imponer un sistema de creencias particular a ningún participante.
“Healthcare encompasses the whole person. In addition to high-quality health care, our clients have an array of needs that can be addressed through group work,” says Tom Pietrogallo, Director of Psychosocial Services at Care Resource. “These groups’ help people feel more connected, to make sure that they are not alone and to ensure that their health is maximized.”
In addition to Positive Perspectives, Care Resource hosts an array of supplementary groups to further maximize the diverse needs of the South Florida community. Additional groups include, but are not limited to the Women’s Empowerment Group, Healthy Relationships Group, Hepatitis C Support Group, and Talkin’ T, a support group for the Transgender community.
