SUPPORT CAMP F2B
What is it?
Freedom 2 Be (F2B) is a residential intervention, bringing up to 100 Young people living with HIV form across the UK and Ireland together for a 5-day therapeutic support camp. Camp has three main aims:
- To tackle social isolation
- To improve knowledge and understanding about HIV
- To enhance self esteem and well being
We provide a package of therapeutic and fun activities all developed to explore growing up with HIV, build peer networks and personal confidence. Activities included: HIV Workshops, Creative activities and performance art sessions and outward bounds activities.
More information about camp is available on the main pages of the website here.
