There is growing realization in programs around children affected by AIDS (CABA) that an essential component is missing - psychosocial support. From the 19th 24th. August 2001, a small group of practitioners and experts are meeting at Masiye Camp (Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) to develop a working definition and to plan how to scale up program strategies for a regional response. We are launching this time-limited pre-think tank discussion forum. After the think tank this forum will continue to serve as a platform for specialized discussions around issues on PSS-CABA.

New forum: Psychosocial Support for Children affected by AIDS
PSS-CABA
******************************************
There is growing realization in programs around children affected by AIDS
(CABA) that an essential component is missing - psychosocial support.
Practical responses to address this gap are few, and this component is
still not integrated into the large number of projects being continually
developed.
To this end, Humuliza Project (tdh-switzerland) and Masiye Camp (Salvation
Army), both working in the field of PSS-CABA, have forged a partnership to
facilitate an expanded response to PSS-CABA in Africa.
>From the 19th 24th. August 2001, a small group of practitioners and
experts are meeting at Masiye Camp (Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) to develop a
working definition and to plan how to scale up program strategies for a
regional response.
To have maximum participation and inputs in all these discussions, we
decided (with the support from Health & Development Networks) to launch
this time-limited pre-think tank discussion forum. After the think tank
this forum will continue to serve as a platform for specialized discussions
around issues on PSS-CABA.
