Phola park adult therapeutic group
A therapeutic group for Adults living with HIV/AIDS was established in Phola Park in February 2018.The group consisted of 10 female members living with HIV/AIDS. The aim of the group was to provide the group members with the platform where they can be able to express their feelings. The group would be talking about their experiences and also give support to one another. Individual counselling would be given when necessary.This was also to create a sense of belonging within the group and to acknowledge themselves as being worthy and to create independence within themselves.
The group consisted of females who were largely coming from outside of Gauteng e.g Eastern Cape and Limpopo. They are unemployed and dependent on recycling.
The group has started a savings club where they are saving R50 a month and they will use the money to buy groceries for year- end/Christmas. The group members were also selling second hand clothing so that they can start a skill of sewing blankets and then generate income from selling those blankets to people. This is still in progress.
