| Aim: Many people living with HIV in the UK are parents, and their needs as parents are often overlooked by adult services. The family is the point of intersection between HIV infection in adults and children, parental coping and child well-being. As the family structure provides the context in which children are cared for, the quality of parental coping is important in determining how HIV-related issues are dealt with. The workshop aims to equip delegates with the framework for delivering parenting programmes for mothers and fathers living with HIV, adapted and relevant to their own context. Based on Social Action Theory (Gore-Felton et al, 2005), it is designed to improve parenting and self-care skills in order to improve a variety of psychological and medical outcomes for children and parents. It is an evidence-based approach with successful, published outcomes based on four years of running group interventions . | ||||
