LET’S has been a member, since 2022, on the advisory group of the Organizational Stigma Assessment Cycle, through PAN. In May, advisory group members met to share information on the process and hear feedback. Members were encouraged to share stigma issues they are seeing in their work so that those working on the project can hear from different perspectives.
The project is currently in its pilot phase:
“We are pleased to be working with two community-based organizations in five locations across two health authority regions. We are rolling out our systematic process designed to provide a holistic understanding of where stigma can exist in an organization despite best intentions of design and delivery of services.
We are also regularly connecting with various provincial groups undertaking their own stigma reduction work to see how we may work with or in support of each other.
The Organizational Stigma Assessment Cycle Project is being evaluated at all stages of the project so that we may adapt our work as needed to make it as effective as possible. We look forward to sharing more of our learning as OSAC continues to evolve. Please read on below for more information on this project as well as others.”
