Join Hepatitis B Foundation #JustB Storytelling Project
The Hepatitis B Foundation recognizes that engaging community members in speaking out about obstacles to Hepatitis B screening, prevention, and care is essential to reducing stigma, encouraging screening, and improving services for those living with Hepatitis B. We are collaborating with StoryCenter on the #justB Storytelling Project, to make the real voices of every-day people living with/affected by Hepatitis B a key ingredient of our prevention and advocacy efforts. We will first engage people in sharing their own stories as short videos, in a digital storytelling workshop. Then, we will train and support them to act as spokespeople in their local communities and nationally, to take leadership on challenging stigma and promoting Hepatitis B screening and care.
