Abstract
Abstract The AIDS epidemic has given rise to a profound concern about the needs of persons with HIV/AIDS. Less attention has been given to “well children” living with a family member who has HIV/AIDS. This paper describes a group treatment approach used at a community mental health agency for helping children deal with emotional and safety issues related to living with HIV/AIDS in a family member. Group processes are explored in providing social support, psychoeducation and therapeutic intervention for children and adolescents. Groupwork is an effective strategy in helping children, youth and their caregivers work through these issues toward violence prevention.
