Pozhet e-newsletter
7th Edition
What a whirlwind of a couple of years. Like most health services, Pozhet was also called upon to support the NSW COVID-19 response. Thank you for your patience as we reorientate ourselves in post deployments.
A snapshot of Pozhet activities planned for 2022.
- Launching a social media campaign addressing HIV related stigma
- Translating our factsheets into ten key community languages
- Revisiting research opportunities, with a focus on CALD women living with HIV in NSW
- Maintaining a commitment to updating clients and service providers via our newsletters
- Collaborating with our key NGO partners to deliver health-related activities
- Exploring the recommencement of Pozhet Annual Retreat
It is timely that we will soon be conducting a short survey with our existing clients to better understand how future Pozhet activity should look for them. This feedback will be instrumental for our future service planning.
We are always open to receiving your referrals and feedback. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, as a service provider or on behalf of a client at pozhet@pozhet.org.au
