Hello!

The *Supporting Mothers in Ways that Work* forum was held in Vancouver, BC
in September 2014. The purpose of this forum was to bring together health
and social service providers, women living with HIV and researchers from
across BC to discuss issues and strengthen regional networks to
enhance services for mothers living with HIV.

Rather than generate a report from this forum, the HIV Mothering Study team
has been working on a *resource toolkit *for frontline health and social
service providers. The purpose of the toolkit is to *increase health and
social care providers’ awareness and understanding of the psychosocial
needs and experiences of women living with HIV during pregnancy, at the
time of childbirth, and postpartum*. The feedback you provided during the
World Cafe discussion at the forum has been integrated into section 7
(Taking Action) of the toolkit. Thank you for all of your contributions and
feedback!

The target audience for the toolkit is any health or social care provider
who may interact with women living with HIV during the perinatal period.

*Please find the PDF of the toolkit attached - you are invited to share
this toolkit with your networks and colleagues!*

We hope that it is a useful practice resource for frontline workers across
Canada and beyond!

If you would like hard copies to share with your colleagues, please contact
me.

Thank you for your interest and support of the Supporting Mothers in Ways
that Work initiative!

Kind regards,
Allyson
