ATLANTIC REGION Healing Our Nations Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Contact: Monique Fong - Executive Director 15 Alderney Drive, Suite 3 Dartmouth, NS B2Y 2N2 Phone: 1-800-565-4255 Fax: (902) 492-0500 E-mail: hon@accesswave.ca or ea@accesswave.ca Web Site: http://www.hon93.ca Formed: 1993 Mission: Our purpose is to educate First Nations people about HIV and AIDS. Knowing the risks associated with the spread of HIV and defining the myths and facts about AIDS is the first step to healing our nations. Eliminating the spread of HIV in First Nations communities is not the only focus of our organization because we see this disease as a symptom of a greater problem. Our goal is to help First Nations people rediscover their pride, traditions and spirituality in an attempt to improve child development and eliminate family violence, substance abuse, depression, and suicide. Programs/Services: The following are some of the programs and services offered by Healing Our Nations: • A toll-free number that won't cost you anything to call, won't show up on your phone bill, and we won't know who you are if you call. • By law we can't tell anyone you have HIV or AIDS, but we can offer support to anyone who has HIV or AIDS. • Information if you want to go for an HIV test. We can answer questions; tell you where to go for a test, and what a positive or negative test result means. You don't have to tell us who you are, but we will ask very personal questions. • Help in dealing with all the feelings that come up and who to tell when a First Nations person finds out they have HIV or AIDS. We can try to guide you and we will never tell someone else that you have HIV/AIDS. • Support if you have HIV/AIDS and don't know where to turn, we can meet in private or you can visit our office. Nobody will know what we talked about and it is up to you if you want to meet in person or on the phone. 4
• Information on treatments for HIV/AIDS, including some Indian Medicines that can help you stay healthier longer. • We offer financial help for First Nations people living with HIV/AIDS in Atlantic Canada. You can call us and ask about the A.P.H.A. Fund. By law, all of this is confidential and we will do everything to protect your identity. •We also provide free training and education to communities so that people have more awareness about what HIV/AIDS is, how it is spread and how it isn't spread. This is gained through the following workshops: - Basic HIV/AIDS 101 - Basic Hepatitis A, B, C 101 - Addictions & HIV/AIDS - Women & HIV/AIDS - Youth and HIV/AIDS - Healthy Sexuality - Aboriginal Sexuality and Gender - HIV/AIDS in Prison - Living with HIV/AIDS - Family Based Support Model and Training - Two-Spirit People - Hep C - STI's - Advanced Training - Cross Cultural Training - Crystal Meth and HIV Languages: Healing Our Nations offers services in English and Mi'kmaq. 5
