Solutions aren't always easy to imagine, but our participants are hard at work during today's CIN event on stigma. Some of our participants favourite solutions summarized: "Peers, Peers, and More Peers" and "Being A Sh*t Disturber Is An Act of Love." Check them out below.

Participants at the CIN network are asking important and big questions about how to tackle stigma, especially in the health care system. One of their biggest questions "Why isn't STI and HIV testing not in routine testing?" Next on the agenda - brainstorming solutions!

The Collective Impact Network is hard at work examining the impacts of stigma. With over 60+ participants including people with lived experience, they're examining how we can create a world free from stigma in both themselves and our systems. Join here: http://ow.ly/Bc0q50EMVH6
