In June 2007, we launched the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation Online Forum, an internet peer support service. Developed by a working group of staff and clients, the Online Forum gives PLWH an opportunity to share information and experiences and discuss ideas with others who are also HIV positive. Participants can read existing posts, join an ongoing conversation or start a discussion on a new topic.
Topics discussed on the Online Forum so far include financial support, medication, housing issues and Centrelink benefits and questions have been asked about health and services for PLWH. The Forum’s capacity to offer interactive online resources and personal experience sharing has already proved to be extremely helpful for the people involved.
