ACCB offers a range of public education to schools, workplaces, community organizations and healthcare providers. We are currently offering the following workshops:

AIDS 101
An interactive introduction to HIV/AIDS including discussion of transmission, safer sex, drug use and the social factors of HIV/AIDS

Anti-Homophobia
Homophobia contributes to the spread of HIV/AIDS in addition to oppressing members of our community who identify within the queer spectrum. Learn what homophobia looks like and how it can be challenged by individuals and organizations.

Anti-Transphobia
An introduction to understanding gender variance including definitions of terms and identities, a discussion of oppression and steps people and organizations can take towards inclusion.

Intro to Harm Reduction
A presentation on the rationale for harm reduction approaches to drug use. Drug-user health issues, commonly misused drugs and practical ways to reduce harms associated with drug use are the focus.

Queer Health
Queer-identified people have unique health needs that often are poorly understood. This workshop gives an overview of queer health issues and includes discussion of the social determinants of health, queer identities, trans health, oppression and harm reduction
