Sexual Health Focus Group Story

The Healthy Aboriginal Network

Non-profit promotion of health, literacy & wellness

We’re focus group testing a new story on sexual health. We are still using YouTube, but for those of you that cannot access it at work, we have embedded the players on our web page. That should make it easier. The story is split into two shorts of around 10 minutes each. The content also touches on bullying, sexual orientation and health careers.We’d like to hear your opinion as professionals and parents, but if you have the opportunity to show it to youth, we would be delighted to hear their opinion as well. We want to know what you think worked, but more importantly, what didn’t work and how should we change the story to make it more authentic and relatable to youth.

Please provide feedback before April 1st if you can. It’s easiest for me to receive feedback at sean@thehealthyaboriginal.net. The shorts can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/HealthyAboriginal and www.thehealthyaboriginal.net. Try to use the YouTube channel if you can, as YouTube has a touch more bandwidth than we do. I’ll be testing the stories with youth in the Northwest Territories March 22 – 24th.

Domestic violence / HIV comic book pitches
We’ve got a couple of projects that we’d like to get off the ground. If you know of a government department or organization that is looking to fund the creation of a custom made comic book on domestic violence or HIV, please contact me by email. We might have just the story pitch for them.

Comic books in stock
We still have books in stock on suicide awareness, mental health and sports / gang awareness. Check out our website at www.thehealthyaboriginal.net for free previews and pricing.

First Nations editor
We need an editor in the worst way. Not a writer that likes to put their own spin on someone else’s work (you’d think they could self-diagnose, but not always). We only require a couple of hours here and there, depending on the project, but when we need someone we REALLY NEED SOMEONE.

We appreciate your time,
