Project TALC (Teens and Adults Learning to Communicate)

The intervention, based on social learning theory, includes 24 sessions spaced out over a period of 12 Saturdays in local community centers. The first eight sessions are delivered only to the parents. These sessions address how to adapt to their HIV status, maintain healthy lifestyles, deal with emotional reactions to AIDS and the stigma associated with it, an how to disclose their HIV status to their adolescent child/children. The remaining 16 sessions are delivered to both parent(s) and adolescents. These sessions address reducing emotional distress, maintaining positive family relationships, and avoiding risky behaviors such as sexual activity and teenage pregnancy. Additional sessions are available for adolescents whose parents die form the disease. These sessions involve participation form both the adolescents and their new guardians/caregivers and focus on dealing with loss and grief, adjusting to their new relationships and preventing risky behaviors and teen pregnancy.
