Holding and Untangling Report
Client
Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation
Year
2024
In early 2024, the Lived Experience Leadership Group (by way of Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation) produced a ground-breaking report Holding and Untangling–A Lived Experience Lens: Women & Gender Expansive Populations’ Access to Supervised Consumption/Overdose Prevention Sites. The report provides quantitative and qualitative data on the experiences of women and gender-diverse people who use drugs and supervised consumption/overdose prevention sites. The voices centered and experienced in the report are supported by a list of recommendations for managers, administrators and front-line workers.
We were invited to design the publication–including infographics, and illustrations.
