Did you know everyday one more Aboriginal person becomes
infected with HIV in Canada? Wabano Centre for Aboriginal
Health brings the new project “Walking the Healing Path”
to Ottawa’s Aboriginal population because HIV/AIDS affects
each and everyone one of us.
Promote Community-wide Prevention
Walking the Healing Path incorporates principles of harm reduction
and Aboriginal culture into HIV/AIDS information. This new
project will:
- Create education workshop modules on sexual health and harm reduction for clients, service providers and community members
- Deliver education workshops for all community members including schools, treatment centres, and organizations
- Develop poster campaigns
Support Aboriginal People with HIV/AIDS (APHAs)
- Promote the well-being and quality of life of those living with or closely affected by HIV/AIDS
- Provide direct support services to APHAs through the Home Visits Pilot Project
- Offer transportation services for APHAs
- Create resources such as a medication calendar for APHAs
