About the Group 

The forerunner of Positive Attitudes has been in existence for nine years. Frieda Saraga and Judy Higgison have been co-facilitators of the group since 1991.      

Positive Attitudes meets each Tuesday evening from 7:00 - 9:00 P.M.  Every third Tuesday, a pot-luck social is held and group members are encouraged to bring a guest.  All meetings are confidential.

Positive Attitudes encourages those facing the challenges of HIV/AIDS and supplements traditional health care with attitudinal healing.

Positive Attitudes allows people to connect with others facing similar life situations to learn that no one is alone.  In an atmosphere of unconditional support and caring, each person is given the opportunity to learn from and help others.  "As we help others, we help ourselves".

Attitudinal Healing

Attitudinal Healing supports people in finding a different way of looking at life and approaching difficult situations or relationships in a new way.  Whether it a woman with breast cancer, a grieving parent, a child with leukemia, or a person with AIDS, each person in their own unique way explores this approach for its potential to open them to moments of real inner peace and to a deeper sense of joining with others. Attitudinal Healing can facilitate a dramatic change in thinking, feeling and attitude, and change a person's experience entirely, even in the face of extreme circumstances.
