Description

The holiday season can intensify grief, loneliness, family tensions, and financial strain while disrupting familiar routines and sources of support. For people with HIV, these experiences may intersect with stigma, disclosure concerns, and challenges staying connected to HIV and mental health care. Through storytelling, guided reflection, and an interactive case discussion, this session invites psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals working in HIV care to explore the human side of the holiday season. Participants will consider how to understand each client’s priorities, respond to competing needs, and collaboratively support continuity of care. The session also offers space to recognize the impact of their work and consider how the connection and care they offer clients can extend to themselves and their teams.

Objectives

  • Examine how holiday-related changes in relationships, routines, resources, and emotional well-being may affect engagement in HIV and mental health care.
  • Explore how stigma, disclosure concerns, grief, and expectations surrounding the holidays may shape clients’ experiences and support needs.
  • Identify person-centered approaches to supporting connection and continuity of care through an interactive case discussion.
  • Identify practical ways to extend care, connection, and support to themselves and their colleagues during the holiday season.
