PAN, as a provincial organization, gratefully and respectfully works and partners with Indigenous Peoples in what is often referred to as British Columbia.
PAN works collaboratively with member organizations and allies who are addressing HIV, hepatitis C and harm reduction. Based in what is colonially referred to as British Columbia, we have 40+ member organizations and we help build their capacity and skills for stronger communities. We provide workplace training, leadership development, community-based research and evaluation initiatives, and we support a collective impact network to reach all regions in the province. We consult with our member groups across all regions to ensure we represent a BC-wide voice as we advocate for change in public perception and policies. Learn about about our legacy.
We help organizations build stronger communities and leaders.
Responding to member needs, our work includes intersecting issues of HIV, hepatitis C, mental health, stigma, HIV criminalization, drug decriminalization, and substance use. HIV was the push that got our work started, and people with HIV have important roles in our past and present as we also address social issues such as safe housing, food security, and dynamics of poverty.
We value the meaningful involvement of people with lived experience.
We work with people with lived experience of HIV, hepatitis C, and substance use to build education, research and programs that centre the voices of lived experience in our community-based response.
