Support About SPFPP: Reducing Stigma, Building Connections
Something Positive for Positive People (SPFPP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people navigating herpes stigma. What began in 2017 as a podcast sharing real stories of living with herpes has grown into a platform offering comprehensive resources, education, and advocacy.
Our mission is simple: to provide a safe space for people to heal, connect, and reclaim their confidence while challenging the stigma associated with herpes and other sexual health concerns.
Herpes Support Tailored to YOU
1. Yoga Therapy for Herpes Stigma
We offer personalized yoga therapy sessions that combine mindful movement, meditation, and reflection to address the emotional challenges of living with herpes. This unique approach empowers individuals to reduce stress, reframe beliefs, and embrace healing.
2. 1-on-1 Support Calls
Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Our confidential, donation-based calls offer practical guidance on disclosure, relationships, and stigma, as well as a safe space to share your story.
3. Advocacy & Education
From workshops on disclosure and coping with stigma to training for healthcare providers, SPFPP is transforming how sexual health is discussed. We focus on stigma-free communication and empowering individuals to lead confident, informed lives.
4. Research & Data
Through surveys and data collection, we highlight the lived experiences of people with herpes to give us more relevant herpes statistics on what people really want to know. This information shapes our advocacy efforts and helps health professionals better support patients.
5. Free Resources
Our Letting Go yoga video series, podcast, and educational materials are designed to provide tools for healing and self-acceptance.
