Hey Everyone,
My name is Roseline and I am the coordinator of a program called Shift. I have posted a few times but they have been few and far between as we are still getting the hang of these online forums. Our program is embarking on the process of developing a peer component. What we know from listening to people involved in all aspects of the sex trade is that peer programs work, this may include support for people wanting to exit, but also for those who do not. We have seen peer groups consist of indoor workers that create advocacy initiatives, support groups or magazines (just to name a few ideas). The Shift program is available to assist individuals who are involved in indoor and outdoor sex work and we really want to ensure that we get information, suggestions and involvement from indoor workers in this process. With that said if you have any ideas for a peer program, or want to be involved in any way I suggest you contact me. I would love to meet with people individually, as a group, or just have conversation over email with anyone who would like to have input. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, either through this forum or at shift@aidscalgary.org, or 403-237-8171.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Roseline
