Description
This text offers insights into "buddying" - a scheme of one-to-one support for people with AIDS - developed by the Terence Higgins Trust, the HIV/AIDS information and support charity. Describing what "buddying" is, how it grew and how it differs from therapy, counselling and friendship, this book paints a picture of the rewards and enrichments as well as the problems and pitfalls of being a "buddy". It explores the issues of setting up this type of support network, and offers insights for those involved in befriending, counselling and therapy.
