New Health Project announced for HIV/AIDS.

Living with HIV/AIDS?

We need you!

Join the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities’ new health project!

After 30 years of advocacy, the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities (BCCPD) knows the power of people with disabilities sharing their experiences and knowledge with others.

The common theme among people living well with disability is their ability to create a personal path to HEAL—health education, advocacy and leadership*

We are pleased to offer our first HEAL program: creating five HEAL guides for people living with HIV/AIDS.

If you are a person living with HIV/AIDS and have some experience with one or more of the topics below, we want to hear from you. We’ll be creating a series of booklets on the HEAL approach to living with HIV/AIDS and:

  • Depression
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Substance abuse/harm reduction
  • Stigma
  • Episodic disability

Interested in hearing more? Contact Shelley at BCCPD
