Healthy, liver-friendly lunch anyone?
Our peer educators are eager to share their recipes with you.
C-Pix! is a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn new skills in art and photography while learning facts about hepatitis C that is important to their health and well-being.
Through the creation of photo-essays, young people can delve into how hepatitis C risks relate to behaviour, especially in unsterile tattooing, piercing and scarification practices, and drug use. Issues relating to stigma and isolation will also be explored.
The Hepatitis C Council of South Australia will provide support through hepatitis C education sessions, a disposable camera for each participant and photography workshops with a community artist/photographer. Photos taken with digital cameras or camera phones will also be accepted.
Entries will be judged and exhibited during Hepatitis Awareness Week in May 2010. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and a people’s choice award.
Young people participating in C-Pix! will have the opportunity to be part of a art project that will not only raise their own awareness about an important health issue, but will also help to raise hepatitis C awareness among their peers.

HCCSA has a significant quantity of electronic resources available through the internet or on DVDs. These are often not available to people whose circumstances do not include easy access to computers and the internet. Carried out in partnership between HCCSA and SAVIVE, the objectives of this pilot project are to trial the provision of:
- a wider range of resources to CNP clients
- tools for CNP workers to use to engage clients
- access to information and tools otherwise not available to CNP clients
- relevant services to CNP clients in an attractive format.
The project will set up a computer as an information centre at a trial site to provide information electronically to CNP clients. Proposed information to be included are:
- Hepatitis C the self-assessment tool
- factsheets,
- videos
- Digital stories
- Promotion of relevant services.
