Reducing Stigma & Rebuilding Confidence
Living with HIV doesn’t define who you are—but stigma can sometimes make it feel that way. Stigma can come from the outside—through the words or actions of others—or from within, shaping how we see ourselves and speak to ourselves.
This Workshop is here to help you explore how stigma shows up, how it can affect your confidence, and—most importantly—how you can push back, you’ll find practical tools to rebuild pride, challenge shame, and reconnect with your own strength and worth.
What You Can Expect at the Workshops:

Peer-led, inclusive, and confidential group sessions
Guest speakers with lived or clinical experience
Strategies to support your identity, wellbeing, and mental health
Resources you can take home and apply in your daily life

Travel support is available — just let us know in advance if you’d like assistance.
Proudly supported with funding from the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Trust, these workshops are designed for people living with HIV and will support mental wellbeing, reduce stigma, and strengthen peer connection in a culturally safe and professionally supported space.

Self-Care Strategies
Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential. Self-care is about tuning in to your needs—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually—and responding with compassion. It includes the small everyday things that help us feel grounded, as well as the bigger choices we make to protect our health and happiness. When you’re living with HIV, self-care becomes even more important. It’s not just about medication or appointments—it’s also about rest, connection, joy, boundaries, and kindness to yourself.
This workshop is here to help you explore what self-care looks like for you—not what works for everyone else. You’ll find space to reflect, identify the habits that truly support your wellbeing, and discover simple ways to make self-care part of your everyday life.
Because you’re worth looking after—every part of you.

World AIDS Day
2025-12-01 | Queensland
World AIDS Day is Sunday, December 1st this year. It starts with me.

There are numerous events and remembrance vigils throughout Queensland in the process of being planned. alongside our annual Buildings in Red project. All events will be listed on the Queensland World AIDS Day website www.qldworldaidsday.org.au

Remembering and celebrating those we have lost from HIV/AIDS, and showing support for all those who live with HIV starts with me.
Raising awareness of HIV and today’s increased testing, treatment and prevention options, making sure community, friends and family know how to stay free of HIV starts with me.
Shining a light on HIV stigma and discrimination, and leading by example confronting ignorance, dispelling myths and misinformation about HIV, starts with me.
While HIV still threatens the world today, we must take bold action against inequality, promote understanding and advocate for human and health rights. Change is more than a moment, it’s a movement that starts with me.

This World AIDS Day remember to: Wear a Ribbon this December 1st, attend an event or vigil near you if you can, and have a conversation or share a story about World AIDS Day with others, and what it means to you.
