YouthCO has been working to reduce the impact of stigma related to HIV and hepatitis C since 1994. YouthCO’s Yúusnewas program is an Indigenous peer-led program. Their work includes workshops on HIV, sexual health and harm reduction in urban and rural communities; Culture is Healing events by and for Indigenous youth in downtown Vancouver; First Directions, a program bringing together youth from across BC to learn about facilitation and leadership skills; and awareness of the experiences of Two-Spirit/non-binary folks. Join Amanda Tallio and Larissa Wahpooseyan, two Yúusnewas team members as they talk about their work across BC in a webinar on Tuesday March 12th at 11 AM Pacific time.
