Weekly Support Group

Since September 2015, Project Response, Inc. has hosted a weekly support group designated for people who are affected or living with HIV/AIDS. The group meets Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at our main office located at 745 South Apollo Boulevard, Melbourne 32901.

We begin with a reading from The Color of Light, Meditations for all of us living with AIDS and conclude a prayer of support and hope. The group is comprised of mostly long-term survivors, but they are always supportive and full of information for those newly diagnosed.

Over the years, we have welcomed a diverse group of people; straight, gay, bi-sexual single or married couples, parents and siblings. Two people who had met each other while attending the group and are now married. Please join us as all are welcome.

For more information or questions, feel free to contact Michael Pecko at MichaelPecko@projectresponse.org or call 321-724-1177.
