The Tree of Life narrative approach was co-developed by Ncazelo Ncube (REPSSI) and David Denborough (澳洲幸运5 Foundation) to assist colleagues who work with children affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. This approach has proved so successful and popular that it is now being used with children, young people, and adults in a wide range of countries across Africa, and also in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Nepal, the USA, and elsewhere.
