The work of the GMSH is driven by our Strategic Plans (2012-2016) and by all of our working groups. Most of the work led by each working group is task-oriented and collaborative, with a set of goals and objectives. Our working groups (each supported by the GMSH office) are often struck when needed by the network. Over the years, our working groups have helped us build campaigns, KTE events and resources. Each working group is established with a unique Terms of Reference that aligns itself with GMSH principles and Strategic Plans.
Here is more information on each of our working groups and how to get engaged:
(our formative group) meets quarterly and is facilitated by David Hoe
The Alliance is made up of representatives from each of the ASOs in Ontario as well as public health, researchers and policy makers. This core group (a community of practice) of the GMSH meets every quarter and helps to shape annual programming.
For information on the Alliance network group, please contact: Dane Griffithgs (GMSH Acting Director) (dgriffiths@gmsh.ca) or 416-364-4555 x 315
Goal: to improve the overall sexual health and well-being of gay/bi/MSM by specifically using the lived experience of HIV positive gay, bisexual and other MSM to strategically respond to opportunities and needs such as access to relevant information, resources and supports. The working group views sexual health broadly, as is described within Re-invigorating HIV Prevention for Ontario Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Framework for Ontario’s Gay Men's HIV Prevention Strategy (2009). This includes recognition that sexual health work requires addressing social and systemic impacts and a broad understanding of the social determinants of health.
