PRISM Wellness is an anti-stigma and sexual health education-based program located on the traditional unceded lands of the Lekwungen speaking people of the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations. We support our 2SLGBTQ+ community through various harm reduction and educational workshops, STBBI testing & PrEP access clinic events, community events, service provider trainings and more.

For this upcoming Pride, we will be hosting a 2SLGBTQ+ sexual health education and anti-stigma community conference to support 2SLGBTQ+ folks in the community. Our educational conference will help us to broaden our support for 2SLGBTQ+ folks, discuss sexual health inequities amongst marginalized communities, provide partnership building with other service providers, and advocate for collective sexual healthcare strategies to better support 2SLGBTQ+ communities in the Southern Vancouver Island region.

In preparation for the event, we have organized a fundraiser to meet our financial goal. "Let's Celebrate Love" is a 2SLGBTQ+ Variety Show Fundraising Event & Spring Mixer which will showcase a wide range of incredible 2SLGBTQ+ talent in our beloved community! Our aim is simply to bring community together, celebrate our collective joy, and fundraise for PRISM Wellness to ensure we can continue supporting our 2SLGBTQ+.

PRISM Wellness is located on the traditional unceded lands of the Lekwungen speaking people of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. Prism Wellness’ primary focus is to reduce HIV, Hepatitis C, STBBIs, and stigma in the Southern Vancouver Island communities of gender and sexual minorities. By promoting queer and trans health in these, our communities, we are accomplishing that goal.

We encourage our community to make informed choices about their own sexual and substance use practices and wellness. Sex and harm reduction education to reduce HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted infections is part of our mission. It is paired with the cultivation of attitudes and behaviours that support safer, strong and stable foundations for overall community health and wellbeing.

By taking good care of ourselves, we take good care of our communities.

The VEC has zero tolerance for any type of racist, sexist, ableist, fatphobic, transphobic or homophobic behaviour. All guests must abide by the VEC’s policies listed here.

This event is taking place on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
