Magister Artium (Social Work) - MA(SW) / Societies today are rapidly expanding, both demographically and politically, thereby
causing adolescents who are HIV positive to be faced with multifaceted challenges. For
these societal demands, young people need to acquire the relevant skills. The life skills
approach has been found to improve adolescent changes by building skills that are
necessary components of healthy development and enables adolescents to deal with life
challenges. Evidence suggests that the life skills approach promotes social, cognitive,
emotional, and behavioral competencies that are important in decreasing negative or
high-risk behaviours (Pearlstein et al.,2013, Mellins et al.,2012) . The aim of this research
was to evaluate the life skills programme utilised by social workers, social auxiliary
workers and community workers at an NGO that deals with HIV positive adolescents.
