HIV and Aging (virtual event)
On Wednesday December 11th 2024 from 9 AM-2 PM Pacific time, we’ll be hosting our next virtual event. Themed sessions will put the spotlight on HIV and aging. At one time, people living with HIV (PLHIV) didn’t anticipate the onset of middle and senior years, but treatments have radically changed that possibility. Join us to learn and talk about the physical, mental, and social aspects of HIV and aging, and how we can support older PLHIV. Learn more.
Using Concept Mapping for Empowerment and Advocacy (webinar)
Join us December 18 from 10-11 AM Pacific time for this new webinar. People who use substances often experience stigma and discrimination when accessing health and social services. This failing of the system can lead to folks not accessing and/or disconnecting from care and support. A recent study applied the concept of culturally safe care to develop a model of safe care from the perspective of people who use substances. People with lived and living experience shared their perspectives through an approach known as concept mapping which engages community in brainstorming, sorting and rating important concepts of care models.
