Guiding Principles

Hits: 41

We understand that with the changing nature of HIV/AIDS, agency personnel and AIDS-impacted communities are relating to an illness associated with unpredictability, uncertainty and anticipatory grief, in addition to the pre-existing legacy of multiple losses.

We believe that our work must be:

• Grounded in solid theory
• Shaped by the experience of the people we work with
• Linked to people’s broader life experiences
• Framed within a context of equity and inclusion
• Trusting of everyone’s unique capacity to survive, thrive and make meaning

The AIDS Bereavement and Resiliency Program has a Facilitation Team and a Provincial Advisory Committee. The Team is headed by Director, Thomas Egdorf.
