We are delighted to introduce our newest video, “A Glimpse of Possibility: Resilience” about maintaining resilience while living with disability/chronic illness. Thank you to Carol, Lillian and Darren for sharing their stories about coping with illness and disability.
Lillian coined the phrase, “a glimpse of possibility” several years ago while talking about resilience with DABC’s Shelley Hourston. We felt it was an ideal title for our most recent video created by Brianne Nettelfield of Feel It All Productions (http://www.feelitallproductions.com).
We are grateful for funding from Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) for funding our AIDS & Disability Action Program/Wellness & Disability Initiative and this video.
DABC’s AIDS & Disability Action Program/Wellness & Disability Initiative has published a new booklet on HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) stigma in health care environments. Checklist for Change: HIV & Hepatitis C Stigma in Health Care is based on research and interviews with service providers and individuals living with HIV and HCV.
Included in the publication is a checklist to encourage reflection on personal communication practices for individuals working in health care settings. Suggestions for training and effective organizational policies are also included.
You may download Checklist for Change below.
