Abstract

Throughout 2021-2022 HiVitality collaborated with the Open University to enhance the therapeutic value of retreats, evaluate effects, improve understanding of internalised HIV stigma, and understand the operational context for this small peer-led charity approach. Together we undertook research and coproduced a refreshed retreat programme based on principles of person-centred therapy. This paper describes the coproduced design method, the intervention, psychosocial outcomes, and delivery/implementation issues.
