ANKORS Nelson - Rise Up Community Engagement

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.
