Transgender women are 49 times more likely to contract HIV but are often unable to access HIV services due to overwhelming barriers. Aside from HIV, there is a wide spectrum of general health issues transwomen face when taking care of their health. Some of these barriers are job and housing discrimination, violence, trauma, and stigma. We must address these barriers in order to effectively engage transgender women not only in HIV treatment and care but with general health care. This workshop will explore ways and best practices on how to link transwomen to various health services such as mental health, HIV prevention and care, and general health services.PresentersNikki Calma, Program Manager, Behavioral and Community Programs, Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, San Francisco, CA Talia de la Cruz, Peer Navigator/TRANS ACCESS, Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, San Francisco, CA Tower 603 Hanau Ka Mauna: Utilizing Hawaiian Epistemologies to Inspire and (Re)connect Ourselves to Place - Part I Among indigenous peoples, place is a critical part of inspiring and informing our work for social justice. In this workshop, we utilize Hawaiian epistemologies of place to help participants gain a deeper understanding of their piko (center, place) and the connections to their social justice work. By sharing our stories of place - places of birth, work, inspiration - through talking story and writing, our workshop will help participants learn how to use Hawaiian epistemologies of place to gain unique insight into the ways in which they can envision and implement their work.
