MB HIV-STBBI Collective Impact Network

CINetwork brings together a diverse array of people from across Manitoba to understand and develop solutions to address HIV-STBBI complex system issues.

Social Innovation Generation:

The MB HIV-STBBI Collective Impact Network is a network of innovators working collaboratively to transform the landscape of HIV-STBBI in Manitoba. Composed of people with lived experience, researchers, health care professionals, policy makers, community-based organizations and Indigenous organizations, we work on understanding systems gaps and barriers and bringing diverse stakeholders together to develop innovative community-based culturally responsive solutions. We advance our key goals to increase HIV-STBBI testing, improve linkage to care, decrease the incidence of HIV-STBBI, disrupt stigma and discrimination by tackling complex system-related issues. We align our goals/common agenda with the Federal STBBI Strategy (2019) Accelerating Our Response – Government of Canada Five-Year Action Plan on Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections. CIN Stewardship Team:

CINetwork is guided by the CIN Stewardship Team, which oversees the network’s direction, activities, and sustainability. It also monitors the broader level CINetwork activities, including planning events, evaluating the CINetwork, and making sense of findings from the CINetwork’s activities to connect with policymakers and facilitate policy changes in Manitoba. The team consists of people with lived experience, researchers, community-based organization reps, health authority reps, policymakers, Indigenous organization reps, and other interested parties.

Debwetamowin: Dismantling Implicit Bias and Racism in Manitoba's Response to HIV-STBBI Webinar with Village Lab

Date: Thursday March 5 from 2 - 3pm (CST)

Registration: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/a7hdgux

Manitoba has the highest rate of HIV in Canada. The overrepresentation of Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, Inuit), as well as African, Caribbean, and Black communities among those newly diagnosed is directly tied to systemic racism resulting from ongoing colonialism across these lands. "The Debwetamowin Study" gathered input from community members and service providers on how various policies in healthcare, justice, and housing impact HIV outcomes. Experiences of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism within these systems are prevalent. The findings aim to identify colonial policies contributing to the epidemic, with a community guiding circle of Indigenous and African, Caribbean, and Black members working on recommendations for systemic improvements to enhance well-being for those living with HIV.

Join us as we share findings and initial recommendations for structural changes needed to address the rising rates of HIV in the province of Manitoba to enhance the well-being of both Indigenous and African, Caribbean, and Black communities.

Village Lab Presenters: Dr. Albert McLeod, Tara Christianson, Patricia Ukoli, Melissa Morris
The Debwetamowin study is led by Dr. Rusty Souleymanov (Principal Investigator and Village Lab Director)
