"Every Body Needs & Every Body Deserves Sexual Health Information"
The BC Coalition of People with Disabilities' Health Literacy Network
is 
pleased to present our February 10-11, 2005 Online Community
Discussion

Guests:
Gail McVicar, sexual health educator with Planned Parenthood Federation
of 
Canada (PPFC).
Margaret Newbury Jones, sexual health educator for people with 
disabilities, MNJ Consulting.
Dawna Rumball, a librarian, educator and advocate for accessible 
information for people with disabilities.

Everyone does need and deserve sexual health information. The BC
Coalition 
of People with Disabilities' AIDS & Disability Action Program, Wellness
& 
Disability Initiative and Health Literacy Network are dedicated to
making 
information about sexual health available in accessible formats for
people 
with all kinds of disabilities. Whether you are a sexual health
educator or 
have questions about healthy sexuality yourself, don't miss this 
opportunity to ask the experts!

NOTE: We will accept a limited number of questions submitted
anonymously by 
mail, email, fax or phone by February 4th.  Contact information appears

below. Questions will be passed on to our guests and answers posted
without 
your name during the online discussion.

"Every Body Needs & Every Body Deserves Sexual Health Information" is
the 
theme for this year's Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Day
sponsored by 
Planned Parenthood Canada. SRH Day is February 12th-two days before 
Valentine's Day.

Visit the Planned Parenthood Canada website (http://www.ppfc.ca) for a

wealth of information on sexual health, including a 24-page Sexual and

Reproductive Health Day resource kit. In addition to an order form for
free 
promotional items, the kit includes "How to be an Inclusive Health Care

Provider/Educator," "Aboriginal Perspectives and Issues," "Rural and
Remote 
Issues," "Intellectual Disabilities and Youth," and "Physically
Disabled 
Youth."

Join us on Thursday and Friday February 10-11 for an asynchronous
(bulletin 
board-like) discussion. To register for the online community and 
discussion, visit http://www.communityzero.com/hln. Participation is
free!
