Yúusnewas is an Indigenous peer-led education program that provides workshops on HIV, sexual health, and harm reduction in urban and rural communities across British Columbia.

All of our workshops are led by Indigenous youth, and are culturally responsive, fun an

Culture is Healing (CIH) is a program for Indigenous youth to gather once a month in Vancouver, BC to share and learn traditional, cultural and spiritual teachings in a safer space. We recognize urban Indigenous youth may experience a unique kind of displacement from their traditional teachings and territories and CIH is a program that allows Indigenous youth to reclaim those teachings through workshops, storytelling, and ceremony.
