2 HIV EDMONTON 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Lynn Sutankayo SARAH VAN TASSEL

Letter from The 2010–2011 year was one of the most eventful and productive yet for HIV Edmonton, marking our 25th anniversary and the many events and initiatives of our associated Legacy Project. It was a year of celebrations, which brought together our founders, community members, and partners. It was also an important year for defining our direction as we move forward. Our board and staff implemented a new three-year strategic plan, reducing the number of our strategic directions from eight to four. Based on feedback from our service users and stakeholders and a formal people with HIV (PHA) assessment, we determined that we will focus on support, community education and prevention, community engagement and advocacy, and sustainability until March 2013. The following outlines our major achievements in each area of our strategic plan, and details of the work are provided throughout this report: Support Analysis of our programs and services suggested that people living with HIV required more intensive one-on-one support, with programming specifically directed at positive people. We therefore created a positive-only space, which we have called the Ross Armstrong Centre to honour the brave work of our founders and Ross in the mid-1980s. With this shift in the focus of our work, our Support and Outreach Team now provides in-house support to positive people and outreach to people who are at risk and who are living with HIV, expanding the reach of this team. Community Education and Prevention Our Community Education Team concentrated on providing prevention services to those most at risk of HIV. We increased our rural work by expanding our partnership with the Students’ International Health Association to include a rural tour with our Positive Speakers group. Community Engagement and Advocacy This year, HIV Edmonton placed renewed emphasis on building partnerships, and we created strong links to community organizations such as the Sinkunia Community Development Organization, the Alberta Native Friendship Centre Association of Alberta, and Boyle

McCauley Health Centre’s HAART House. The Legacy Project also increased our community engagement as we brought together our founders, current supporters, and new communities to increase awareness, raise funds, and celebrate our successes. Sustainability In the past year, we made major strides toward improving our overall sustainability. To ensure objective, consistent, and constructive evaluation of our work, we invested in the Social Solutions ETO database. It is an amazing tool that will measure the effort we put into our work and the outcomes we achieve, allowing us to analyze our successes and areas that require improvement. As HIV Edmonton has continued to grow, our need for more functional space has also increased. Upon termination of our previous lease, the board of directors found an ideal space for our relocation. Through firm negotiation, we secured an excellent space at a reduced rental rate while managing our leasehold improvements to ensure the space would meet our needs. Our new home will offer a street-level presence and provide focused service areas for our clients. The work of HIV Edmonton could not be accomplished without the brilliant guidance of our board of directors and the dedicated commitment of our staff. Through the concerted effort of both these teams, HIV Edmonton makes a difference in the lives of people living with HIV and those who are at risk. The work of our tireless volunteers also has a huge impact on our operations; during this busy year, our front reception was entirely volunteer-powered, and their flawless management of our phone system and caring approach to our community members made all the difference. This report highlights some of the past year’s celebrations and successes. As you read on, you will be amazed how much a tiny team of 10 can accomplish! James Mabey Debra Jakubec Chair Executive Director

New Space! At the end of 2010, HIV Edmonton moved into a new space. Interior designer Wendi Freudenreich volunteered to create a functional and beautiful office for us on a budget! She did a marvellous job, and HIV Edmonton now has a space that can be enjoyed by community members, staff, and volunteers. Our new location will allow us to provide street-level service, a positive-only space, and better access to the community.

The Legacy Project was created to celebrate 25 years of success and hard work by all those who were involved with the agency over the years. This 15-month campaign saw a series of events raise our profile within Edmonton, honour our founders and early heroes, and raise funds for much-needed services. Distinguished Speaker Series This series was sponsored by CBC Edmonton and ran over the course of the past year. Five renowned leaders in the field of HIV/AIDS shared current trends and issues related to HIV and AIDS with Edmontonians. More than 400 people attended these events. Book Around the Kitchen Table: 25 Years of AIDS in Edmonton, written by Leslie Goldstone, is a book that celebrates our founders and leaders in the field of HIV. The book tells the stories of eight people who played key roles in the 25-year history of HIV and AIDS work in Edmonton, and it contains additional photos of 25 people who were part of this journey. Copies of the book are available online through the HIV Edmonton Red Ribbon Shoppe.

HIV Edmonton 25th Anniversary Gala On February 20, 2011, HIV Edmonton celebrated its 25th Anniversary at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. More than 200 people attended the event, which was hosted by former councillor Michael Phair, with regards offered by mayor Stephen Mandel. A highlight of the event was presenting Leah Read with the HIV Edmonton Legacy Volunteer of the Year award for all of her hard work and commitment during the Legacy Campaign. The gala was sponsored by TD Bank Group, ViiV Healthcare in partnership with Shire Canada, and the Edmonton Pride Festival Society. Concert Series Chloe Albert, Simon-Marc de Freitas, and Jeffery Straker donated their time to raise funds for HIV Edmonton through the Legacy Concert Series.

In-House Support Services In line with our strategic plan, the Support and Outreach Team managed to shift in-house support services to focus on people living with HIV. We made this transition upon becoming aware, through client and stakeholder interviews, that our mandate was too broad: we were providing almost equal services and resources to people who were not at high risk of HIV transmission. The changes allowed us to focus on improving the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional outcomes of people living with HIV (PHAs), and work intensively with each person to create individual service plans, including goal setting. We made a total of 3,437 contacts with PHA clients. Though this figure is lower than the previous year’s 8,845 contacts (including hepatitis C clients), we are pleased that it represents intensive work with PHAs or people at considerable risk of HIV infection. This work included processing 35 new intakes, helping clients struggling with addictions to manage personal funds, helping clients to get part-time employment, and housing 59 chronically homeless clients (most of whom have managed to keep their housing to date), among other services.

Talking Circle client contacts

new intakes

Outreach Our outreach has two components: supporting clients away from the office and visiting other agencies to connect with current and potential clients. Focusing most of our work on PHA clients allowed us to visit clients in hospital, support clients in prison, home-deliver food hampers from the food bank, and help clients keep their doctor’s appointments. Agencies we visited include Kindred House (122 contacts), Kairos House (17 contacts), and HAART House (87 contacts). We also completed van shifts with Streetworks’ mobile needle exchange program. Talking Circle Our Talking Circle continues to attract clients of diverse backgrounds. Clients value the calmness and serenity the Aboriginal ceremony brings them. Many clients want to connect or reconnect with their culture and teachings but do not have opportunities to do so. The weekly Talking Circle fills that gap for our clients. Despite not having a staff member to run the Talking Circle for close to four months, we still made 118 client contacts. We also offered smudge 68 times at the request of clients.

Drop-In As a result of construction, for six months we held drop-in at a temporary location close to our new location. Many clients loved the “drop-in house” because it was such a home-like environment. The comfortable house was open at all times during working hours. This allowed clients to connect, share stories, play games, and interact with support staff and volunteers. Ross Armstrong Program In line with our objective to make services more accessible, we extended the Ross Armstrong Program from just three hours during the second Tuesday of every month, to every day of the second week of the month. The program provides monthly hygiene products, multivitamins, and a gift card to registered clients. We also hold two annual events: a summer barbecue and a Christmas dinner. Due to extreme weather conditions on the scheduled day of the barbecue, we made a last-minute decision to have a Kentucky Fried Chicken dinner at the office rather than in the park. Fifty-five clients attended this dinner. We held the barbecue at a later date, and it was attended by 30 clients, 3 volunteers, and 8 staff members. The Christmas dinner was catered, and attended by 44 clients, 9 volunteers, 7 staff members, and 1 student intern. Including clients who attended the dinner, 73 clients each received a backpack with an assortment of Christmas gifts donated by corporations, church groups, and individual community members.

Notably, we witnessed an increase in the demand for Ross Armstrong supplies; as a result, all gift cards were used up before the end of the fiscal year. Excluding the summer barbecue and Christmas dinner mentioned above, we made 559 client contacts in this program alone. It is apparent that many clients depend on these monthly supplies, which are paid for entirely by private donations and fundraising. Peer Support We received additional funding from the MAC AIDS Fund to expand the scope of our peer support program. The funding allowed peers to provide leadership in preparing and facilitating support group meetings, choose topics or issues for discussion, engage in quality-oflife activities, attend life skills courses, and write a newsletter, among other activities. Seven clients attended a three-day peer training course. Two experienced facilitators from the Toronto People With Aids Foundation facilitated training covering the following key topics: what peer support is, structured feedback, community building, the importance of trust and credibility, assertive versus aggressive behaviour, and effectively maintaining boundaries. Following the three-day training, the group held six peer-led support meetings with the support of staff. Clients appreciated the opportunity to be leaders and choose topics that are pertinent to them. Key topics covered during support sessions so far have included accessing housing and challenges to expect once one is housed, adhering to HIV medication, and dealing with difficult experiences at doctors’ offices.

HIGHLIGHTS of our work with the community. Aboriginal This year, HIV Edmonton was pleased to partner with the Native Friendship Centre Association to introduce HIV education to Friendship Centre youth programs in Bonnyville, Slave Lake, and Athabasca. Friendship Centre youth coordinators were offered training and support to help them incorporate sexual health into their programming. We also provided HIV workshops in the communities of Driftpile, Goodfish Lake, Buffalo Lake, and Kikino. Youth Over the past year, the Community Education Team got involved with youth from all walks of life. We kicked off September by providing information and condoms at our display booth at the annual Sonic Boom concert in Edmonton. Thousands of people enjoyed the day’s music and entertainment. This huge community event let HIV Edmonton engage with the concert crowd and give young people the message that they should have all the fun they can handle while taking care not to put themselves or others in harm’s way. World AIDS Day was December 1. With the help of our MacEwan nursing students, we sent an HIV/AIDS resource package of lesson plans and activities to CALM teachers at 40 high schools across Edmonton. Providing current, accurate information about HIV/AIDS to Edmonton’s youth continues to be a formidable and rewarding endeavour for our team. Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) Outreach to the MSM community in 2010–2011 was tailored to the needs of the community members. In response to member requests, HIV Edmonton created the MSM Positive Support Group. On average,

the group has about four to five participants each week. Some members attend regularly while others attend when they feel the need. The group addresses any and all topics raised by participants. Medications, relationships, maintaining health, and the latest medical news on HIV are common topics for discussion. When asked what they find most useful about the group, participants offered these responses: “Other guys experiencing the same things. Getting support but giving it too and sharing with others.” “That there is a support group out there. That I’m not alone. Provides information.” “Lots of information on the internet terrified me. Coming here has helped me get true and up-to-date information from others who have been living with HIV for years.” We also engaged Edmonton’s MSM community by providing education outreach to the bathhouses over the past year. Rapid testing for HIV and syphilis was introduced to Edmonton (the only location in the province) as a research project led by the Edmonton STI Clinic. Coordinating the rapid testing in one of Edmonton’s two bathhouses has been a rewarding challenge for us at HIV Edmonton. The Phenix course was offered again this year to a group from the MSM community. The course encouraged men to engage with one another and share ideas about healthy sexuality and safer sexual activities. This year’s Phenix workshops differed from the previous year’s in that the intent this time was not only to attract MSM to become involved as participants, but also to provide the groundwork for these men to become Phenix trainers.

To harness the tremendous communication power of the Internet in our outreach efforts, HIV Edmonton relies on the kindness of gayedmonton.com. For an average of five to six hours per week, we enter the gayedmonton.com MSM chat room to offer opportunities for men to ask questions of any nature in a safe, anonymous venue, whether in an open forum or in a private chat. The topics covered are wide and varied, from coming out to one’s family, to where and how to get an STI test. One man’s comment after a lengthy chat expresses the attitude of most of the men we chat with: “Well thanks, I think that talking to someone about this helped me realize a few things.” We thank gayedmonton.com for giving us the opportunity to make positive contributions to Edmonton’s MSM community. Newcomer Members of the African Students Association (AFSA) at the University of Alberta continue to volunteer with HIV Edmonton. A total of 40 members received an expanded version of HIV 101 training in three separate sessions. They also held AIDS Awareness Week and World AIDS Day events. HIV Edmonton continues to support AFSA and be recognized and promoted at all AFSA fundraising events. African Girls’ Group HIV Edmonton has succeeded in identifying interested members and establishing an African Girls’ Group. After a long period of strategic planning and team building, the group is now up and running. The focus is on building community, dealing with girls’ immediate sexual health concerns, and addressing the broader inequalities and vulnerabilities associated with the social determinants of health.

10 HIV EDMONTON 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Presentations in Amharic and Tigrigna Amharic and Tigrigna are the official languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea, respectively. We gave three presentations in these languages to a moms and tots group at the Edmonton Multicultural Coalition. Language Instruction for Newcomers Classes (LINC) at Norquest College LINC is a program that provides free basic French and English language courses to adult permanent residents in Canada. We modified our HIV 101 presentation to meet the language ability and knowledge of LINC students. Lack of social support appears to be the number one factor that increases HIV vulnerability among marginalized groups, so our culturally sensitive LINC presentations highlighted community engagement and addressed underlying factors that fuel stigma and discrimination. Collaboration with Sinkunia – A Community Development Organization Sinkunia serves the Liberian and Sierra Leonean communities in Edmonton, and builds water wells in Sinkunia, Sierra Leone. We helped plan a fundraiser that was held in February 2011. HIV Edmonton staff and board members attended the fundraiser and networked with members of the Sinkunia executive committee. We look forward to an ongoing collaboration and alliance.

Body Mapping – A Teaching Tool for Nursing Students HIV Edmonton partnered with the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Nursing this year to give first-year nursing students a hands-on learning experience through body mapping. HIV Edmonton body mapping is a creative approach to sharing life experiences through art. It is a treatment information and support tool, a process of selfdiscovery, and a means of building community. Our body mapping program received one of the prestigious Laurel Awards, presented annually by Duncan & Craig LLP for innovative non-profit programs with measurable results. After witnessing a body mapping exhibit, U of A professor Vera Caine wanted her students to become involved with the process. HIV Edmonton and the body mapping artists delivered a shortened version of their standard body mapping workshop to her students.

In the workshop, nursing students create a full-sized body map in groups of four or five. In between drawing exercises, they stop to listen to the stories of the body mapping artists’ journey of living with HIV. The purpose of the workshop is to give nursing students the opportunity to interact and engage with a body mapping artist, a person living with HIV who has volunteered his time to help mentor the students for the course of the workshop. The workshop is designed to allow for experiential learning. Students are put “in the shoes” of a patient, and asked to reflect on what this feels like. The workshop’s objectives are to give students a better understanding of HIV and to reduce inaccurate preconceptions of people living with HIV.

From this successful experience, the broader partnership between HIV Edmonton and the Faculty of Nursing was born. HIV Edmonton trained body mapping artists as facilitators to help community education coordinator Lynn Sutankayo teach the three-hour workshop. The workshop was offered six times to over 150 students.

I believe this opportunity was AMAZING.

Educating us as healthcare providers and as the general public is super important.

SIHA Rural Tours HIV Edmonton and the University of Alberta Students’ International Health Association (SIHA) hosted two “rural tours” this year. Through this successful project, launched in 2009, HIV Edmonton trains SIHA members to facilitate HIV workshops in rural communities. This hands-on opportunity allows SIHA members to develop their facilitation skills while experiencing the cultures of the communities they visit. Host communities are invited to encourage young audience members to provide some “teaching” in exchange for the HIV education provided by SIHA. Whether it be a short lesson in jigging, a song, or a meal prepared by the youth in the community centre, each lesson is a positive learning experience for everyone involved. This year, SIHA facilitated workshops for over 200 children and youths in rural communities.

The rural projects as a whole was an incredible experience and definitely worth the trip. One of the highlights was presenting at the Lac La Biche Native Friendship Centre because of the kindness and consideration they shared. In addition they gave us an insight to their culture which was an unforgettable experience. –Kristyn Berry, SIHA educator

12 HIV EDMONTON 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Guy Quiz Men who have sex with men (MSM) still represent the highest risk category for new HIV infections in Alberta and Canada. Although MSM have historically been the most highly impacted population in the HIV/AIDS epidemic, little to no research literature exists on their sexual practices in Edmonton. Thus, HIV Edmonton is undertaking a research project to examine the sexual behaviours, attitudes, and knowledge of MSM in Edmonton based on a convenience sample from bars, bathhouses, and online cruising environments (chat rooms, websites, and online forums used by men to meet other men). Two key factors motivated us to initiate this project. Firstly, incidence rates among MSM in Alberta and Canada are stable and slightly increasing, and MSM still account for the majority of new HIV infections in Alberta and Canada. Secondly, in community consultations held in the spring of 2009, Edmonton’s gay community members indicated that HIV Edmonton needed to provide more programming for gay men. HIV Edmonton gained ethics approval to conduct this research through the Community Research Ethics Board of Alberta.

World Aids Day starbucks & Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life World AIDS Day World AIDS Day is celebrated worldwide each December 1. This year, HIV Edmonton partnered with Starbucks to make red ribbons available at every Starbucks location so Edmontonians could donate and show support by wearing the ribbons. The red ribbon purchases made a major contribution to this year’s World AIDS Day campaign, raising awareness and vital funds for HIV Edmonton. Various media personalities also participated in our “Starbucks Celebrity Baristas” promotion, and red ribbons were distributed to City Hall and local media outlets.

Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life The Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life celebrated its 19th year in 2010! More than 400 people joined us on our 5 km walk through downtown Edmonton, raising over $90,000. Our wonderful sponsors provided over $17,000 in cash sponsorship and $83,000 through in-kind donations. More than 100 volunteers helped to make the day successful and fun.
