Mission Statement
Our Mission is to provide prevention, education, and support services, with a focus on wellness, to anyone living with, affected by, or at risk of HIV, hepatitis C, or other blood-borne infections. Our Vision is a vibrant community of persons from diverse backgrounds, in which all are empowered to live well and to their full potential, with no new occurrences of HIV, hepatitis C, or other blood-borne infections.
About This Cause
Having begun as an HIV/AIDS service organization in 1992, we have since expanded our mandate to serve anybody in the Central Okanagan experiencing concerns relating to housing, income, nutrition, access to health care including addiction and mental health services, connections with support networks, and other determinants of health. Our focus remains on those individuals living with and at highest risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, and other STBBIs. Living Positive Resource Centre recognizes the value and dignity of each individual. We encourage and support our clients to make healthy choices, and we respect the choices that they make. We work with and on behalf of our clients to improve their quality of life. We believe that all individuals deserve equity in accessibility. We collaborate with community partners and actively participate in community efforts to ensure that basic human rights are protected. Living Positive believes that harm reduction promotes and supports the health and well-being of both individuals and communities. We believe that all humans have the right to comprehensive, non-judgmental services based on individual need. Through education and prevention efforts, we work to reduce the risk of harms to individuals and the community.
