Teen Spirit is an organization that
provides support to adolescents who
are HIV-positive, or whose parents or
other close relatives are living with
HIV/AIDS. The group meets weekly and
there are additional activities including
one-to-one support, courses, a
Newsletter team, a Music Project, and
fun activities such as holidays together.
Here are some comments made by
young people who are involved in the
group:
"It's just nice to be with people around you who
are going to listen"
"It's a place to unwind, listen to funky music -
basically do what you want to do. You know that
friends at Teen Spirit are always going to be there"
"Without Teen Spirit I'd be locked up. I'd be quiet.
I would not share my feelings with anyone"
Teen Spirit is part of the organization
"Body and Soul", which aims to provide a
safe, confidential and supportive
environment for people affected by
HIV/AIDS. It promotes a holistic
approach encompassing both peer and
professional support to enable people
to face the challenge of HIV/AIDS.
