EXTRA INFORMATION

Our Well Together Women group promotes positive physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing for people living with HIV.

We offer:

  • Support with navigating HIV care and treatment
  • A safe space to explore wellbeing topics such as mental health, relationships, identity, and self-care
  • Activities and workshops led by trained staff and guest facilitators
  • A supportive, non-judgemental environment where people can share experiences openly

Well Together+ provides meaningful opportunities to:

  • Connect with others who share similar experiences
  • Reduce isolation and build supportive friendships
  • Access social events, creative workshops, skills-building sessions, and peer support
  • Contribute to shaping future group themes and activities

We champion inclusion and equality by:

  • Creating a safe, confidential, and inclusive space for all people living with HIV
  • Uplifting voices that may be overlooked within wider HIV services
  • Ensuring equitable access to support, representation, and visibility
  • Challenging stigma and fostering a strong sense of belonging

The group meets regularly for a mix of:

  • Facilitated group discussions
  • Peer support
  • Creative and wellbeing activities
  • Informative sessions with healthcare and community partners

All sessions are free, confidential, and shaped by the needs of the people attending.

At Sahir, we:

  • Provide trauma-informed, person-centred facilitation
  • Ensure sessions are safe, confidential, and supportive
  • Offer one-to-one support alongside group activities
  • Connect individuals to additional services such as counselling, benefits advice, housing support, and sexual health services
  • Advocate for the voices of people living with HIV within the wider community and health sector

Frequently asked questions

Is the group confidential?

Yes. Everything shared in the group stays in the group. Confidentiality is central to our work.

Do I need a diagnosis to attend?

The group is primarily for women living with HIV, but women affected by HIV (e.g., partners, carers) are also welcome to discuss individual needs with us.

Is it free?

Yes. All sessions and activities are completely free.

I feel nervous — can I bring someone?

You’re welcome to discuss this with us beforehand. Many women attend their first session with support.

Do I have to attend every session?

No come as often or as little as you need. You’re always welcome.
