“Meeting new people and getting their life experience on HIV gave me so much inspiration to live a happy and normal life”.
From previous welbeing course feedback, an answer to question “what was best in the course arrangements”?
The autumn weekend course is aimed for all people living with hiv. During the weekend, we gather together, enjoy the company of peers, talk about living with hiv and relax together. We will take a short hike in the nature near the course location, ending with coffee in a forest hut. We also have time to spend our free time for example in sauna and just talking with each other.
The course is organized near capital area and there will be a buss transfer organized from Helsinki to course venue. Accommodation at the course site is in 2-person rooms.
The course has discussions in both Finnish and English. Participation does not require perfect Finnish or English skills – if necessary, we help each other understand the conversation and interpret from one language to another.
You can apply for participation till 31st of August by this form link. Course participation will be confirmed immediately after the registration period ends. If there are more registrants than there are course places, we will prioritize admission to the course for people who have not participated in HivFinland’s courses in recent years.
You can ask community worker Tappu ([email protected], 044 750 7470) or peer support coordinator Valo ([email protected], 044 750 7462) for more information about the course.
