Resources

 

Our resources section draws material from our training and leadership programs; community based research and evaluation; advocacy work; and research on complex health issues that can impact HIV and hepatitis C.

This section of our website changes often to reflect changing community needs and emerging issues; please check back often. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please contact us.

A note about language: We use many acronyms in our work with groups throughout BC. To optimize shared understanding, we developed a glossary of acronyms that includes principles and terms we commonly use. It also includes organizations and institutions relevant to and important in our work. If you have any comments or feedback, please let us know.
