| About Queensland Positive People
|
|
QPP is a peer-based advocacy organisation which is committed to
actively promoting self-determination and empowerment for all people
living with HIV (PLHIV) throughout Queensland. People shouldn’t
have to deal with HIV their own. Many PLHIV face similar
issues, so it makes sense to share these experiences. People get
involved in peer support for different reasons: to meet other people
with HIV to overcome feelings of isolation, to make friends. As
individuals we can help each other to cope with the ups and downs of
life with HIV.
QPP
is developing a Community Capacity Building framework in order to
develop and support HIV+ Self Help Groups in Queensland. Through our
advocacy work we provide assistance to individual HIV+ people who have
been discriminated against and/or denied appropriate services or
support.
