PASAN is a community-based prisoner health and harm reduction organization that provides support, education and advocacy to prisoners and ex-prisoners across Canada.
We strive to provide community development, education and support to prisoners and ex-prisoners provincially in Ontario and federally regarding HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV) and around whole health and harm reduction. |
PASAN formed in 1991 as a grassroots response to HIV in the Canadian prison system. |
Today, PASAN is the only community-based organization in Canada exclusively providing HIV and HCV prevention, education and support services to prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families. |

Art to Power: Resiliency ProjectPASAN is working with Red Dress Productions to offer a community engaged art project for people who have experienced incarceration. The Art to Power Resiliency Initiative will enable ex-prisoners to forge pathways to explore their experiences, challenges, and resilience through collaborative creative engagement in a judgement-free community setting, which we believe will support reintegration into community life.
