About this service

Connecting to service providers and community organizations around HIV, Hepatitis C, and overdose prevention.

We believe that:

Drug users and people living with HIV or Hepatitis C are experts in their own experiences, needs, and should be consulted in the design of services for their benefit.
Connecting service providers and community organizations, across disciplines, with people who are most affected by BBIs and overdose is a powerful way to unite communities and create real change on these issues.
Nothing about us without us!

We offer:

Research in the service needs, gaps, and experiences of people who use drugs, or who are living with HIV or Hepatitis C in the Kootenays.
Outreach to community organizations, groups, and service providers on integrating best practices and person-centred services in response to the opioid overdose crisis, HIV, and Hepatitis C.
Engagement for peers to become involved in activism, policy design, and community responses to BBIs and overdose.
