Positive Living North Bulkley Valley (PLN Bulkley Valley) offers services in the northwest region of British Columbia, including Smithers, Hazelton and Houston. The services we offer are member support services, harm-reduction services, community development, and HIV/AIDS and HCV education and prevention. Our education department provides educational workshops and presentations from Burns Lake to Prince Rupert. For further information about PLN Bulkley Valleys education services please check out the education page of this website. PLN Bulkley Valley operates a drop-in program modeled after the Fire Pit. Like the Fire Pit, the PLN Bulkley Valley Drop-in Centre is a unique safe place prevention program which targets the root causes of the HIV/AIDS and HCV epidemics: colonization, racism, poverty, homelessness, lack of education and the displacement many Aboriginal peoples' experience. In the street-level setting of the Drop-in Centre, we engage in activities which encourages people to value themselves. This process allows people to take part in cultural activities that lead to healing and reduce risky behaviors. The Drop-in Centre is a place where people can gather to relax with friends, learn, share and understand culture, health and community. It is a place where you can do crafts, artwork, have a bite to eat, join a talking circle, talk to supportive staff and get more information about health, HIV/AIDS and HCV.
