Developing support services for children, young people and families living with HIV : a handbook for service providers / Magda Conway.

"There are more than 1000 under-19s infected with HIV in the UK, while the number affected by HIV is unknown. With very few direct emotional support services available, these young people are a marginalised group. Developing support services for children, young people and families living with HIV aims to demystify working with infected and affected young people by offering information, guidance and support to those developing support services for this group of children and young people – including voluntary and community sector organisations, as well as social workers, health professionals and youth workers. This handbook was developed through three national consultations with statutory, voluntary and health sector professionals held in London, Birmignham and Leeds. Infected and affected young people participated in the consultations and their perspectives informed this work."--Provided by publisher.
