About Something Positive for Positive People (SPFPP)

Positive like presence.

SPFPP began in 2017 as a suicide prevention resource for people newly diagnosed with herpes.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a presence-led support space for people navigating all forms of stigma—sexual, mental, racial, relational, gender-based, and beyond.

We use storytelling, identity validation, and somatic tools like Yoga Therapy to help people reconnect with themselves beyond their diagnosis or societal labels. Whether you’re living with herpes or exploring who you are beyond what the world expects of you—this is a space to be witnessed, not fixed.

What We Offer

  • 1-on-1 Peer Support Calls
    Donation-based calls offering identity-centered space for people navigating diagnosis, disclosure, or disconnection from self. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

  • Yoga Therapy Sessions
    Personalized, donation-based sessions that help you process stigma somatically—through breath, movement, stillness, and reflection. This is Yoga as a presence practice, not performance.

  • Atomic Yoga Classes (Tuesdays @ 7:30pm CT)
    Virtual and hybrid in-person classes held in St. Louis at Given100. These 30-minute classes are donation-based and open to all. You’ll experience gentle movement and meditation designed to support identity regulation, energetic rhythm, and nervous system balance. If you’re consistent, consider becoming a member to access yoga, workshops, meditations, and community events.

  • Support Groups

    • Men’s Atomic Purpose Group (2nd Mondays): For men navigating identity, purpose, and stigma using the atomic model as a guide.

    • Herpes + Stigma Support Group (1st Mondays): A presence-based group that centers herpes but welcomes all those navigating overlapping stigmas.

  • Podcast
    400+ episodes where real people share their stories of navigating stigma, shame, sex, and self-discovery. Listen at spfpp.org/podcast

  • Professional Trainings & Education
    For healthcare professionals, educators, and organizations—our stigma-free trainings teach you how to talk about sexual and mental health with presence and compassion.

  • Research & Data Collection
