The HIVAID campaign was created using Catie.ca as a source in order to spread knowledge and awareness around a dangerous but treatable STBBI (Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infection). When left untreated, HIV can do serious damage to the body, but medicine has come a long way and HIV is no longer a death sentence! Many people live long and healthy lives with HIV undergoing proper treatment. To learn more about HIV, how it transmits, how it’s treated and how it may affect you, take a look at our #HIVAID campaign!

#RaiseYourVoice is a collaborative education campaign brought to you by LFC SHIELD Project, Violence Prevention Labrador, Nunatsiavut Department of Health & Social Development, and the NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre. Our goal is to increase awareness of and help to prevent online luring and the sexual exploitation of children and youth in Labrador.
Sending heartfelt thanks to all who helped make our Nain stop of the SHIELD Labrador Tour so amazing & successful!
Hearing from community members & the youth of Nain at our events was inspiring. The sharing of sexual health knowledge was awesome. We had lots of fun too! We look forward to more community building as we plan to continue SHIELD partnership events in Nain!
