CAAN Communities, Alliances & Networks

CAAN Communities, Alliances & Networks is a non-profit organization founded in 1967, based in Canada. Their slogan, "Researching and programming to inform and influence the public health policy from an Indigenous worldview," encapsulates their mission to protect the wholistic wellness of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis peoples impacted by HIV, hepatitis C, mental health, addictions, and aging. They focus on informing and influencing public health policy from an Indigenous worldview and advancing self-determination to address health determinants with Indigenous traditions, values, and knowledge. Through providing a national forum for members' needs and concerns, ensuring access to HIV and AIDS-related services through advocacy, and offering relevant, accurate and up-to-date information, CAAN plays a vital role in addressing the health challenges of Indigenous communities. It also has a significant international presence through its alliances with the International Indigenous Working Group on HIV and AIDS (IIWGHA) and the International Indigenous HIV and AIDS Community (IIHAC).
