Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / November 2006Kinda odd
Hi guys, So what do y'all think of this? Came in my email today, I replied that I'd like to meet. I looked at the website, wonder what it can possibly mean in a good way to heppers. Am I being too cynical? Any comments? Spidey ------------------------------------------------------ Hello All! My name is Alison Stevens, I've recently attained a position at Healing Our Spirit with the In the Spirit of Sharing Hepatitis C Project. My job basically entails me traveling throughout out BC doing education workshops in Communities that show interest in learning about Hep C, training community members to educate their own community and bring awareness about Hep C. We also will be working with inmates in the Institutes around the Vancouver area. I attained your email address from the Hep C Canada web page, I'm basically just updating all the resources/support available throughout BC on Hep C, and some networking!! So hope to hear from you, and possibly work together in the future! Thank you! Take Care, Alison J Stevens Educator Healing Our Spirit 100-2425 Quebec St Vancouver BC V5T 4L6 P: 604.879.8884 ext 241 F: 604.879.9926 1.866.745.8884 www.healingourspirit.org Yeah, it's odd. :-) How ya doin'? You goosed the moose lately? Shot any ferral bush beaver? elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Hi Spidey, I visited the web page. It appears that these are arrangements for HepC advocacy in Native communities and on the street across BC. First Nations face conditions quite a bit more extreme than most of the other people in the province. The risk profile that goes with the street life that many wind up being involved with, and the relative lack of knowledge about such risks as HepC and what to do to contain or avoid it fit well into the healing circle concept of maintaining First Nations life and security in the Native communities. There is a strong bonding between individuals and their bands. This includes social and family responsibilities being re-enforced in the sweat lodge and the other bonding and realization exercises that go on during the healing sessions. I don't have any details, like most non-natives, I have never been in a healing circle situation, but have learned about them through the press and the internet.

Hmmm... maybe I'm a bit too cynical as well, but when HCV gets lumped in with HIV/AIDS and other STDs I have to cringe. Yeah, it's probably better than no attention at all, but still... I'm not sure if that's the case here (there's no mention of HCV anywhere on their pages, not to mention that their pages seem a bit unprofessional) but maybe that's something you can talk about with Alison when you meet. Thomas  SignatureTo reach me, complete my last name in the address. Spidey, I'm a skeptic, but think it would be worth checking into. You've been through this and made it through the other side. If you can use your story to give hope to some hepper it may be worth it. You can always tell them no thanks if you find your not interested. Dwight > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > www.healingourspirit.org Well, I got a reply from Alison, he's busy til the new year but says he'll be up to see me in January some time. We'll see. Keeping an open mind, but... > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > www.healingourspirit.org |
