Our Education Coordinator is at the Canadian Conference on HIV/AIDS Research this week highlighting some of the participatory action research we do.😀
Good luck and safe travels to Heather, our Education Coordinator, this week!
She will be presenting a poster at highlighting work to bridge HIV care access gaps for structurally excluded patients in New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick.
This is one of many Participatory Action Research projects at AIDS New Brunswick, focused on collaboration and community-driven approaches to reducing stigma, improving access to care, and addressing the social determinants of health for people living with HIV and people who use drugs.
Last year, we presented two posters: one on “Expanding Access to Harm Reduction Supplies in Underserved and Rural Communities” and another on “Findings from Consultations with People Living with HIV Regarding Socio-emotional Support in New Brunswick.”
This work gives our team the opportunity to bring together research, education, and action—with participants actively involved in defining problems, collecting data, and implementing solutions—helping to create more responsive services and programs.
Big thank you to everyone involved😀
