The stated purpose of BNASAA is to explore Bahá’í principles and concepts related to AIDS, human sexuality, addictions, abuse and other challenging personal issues, and to consider questions and concerns that arise in the application of these principles to Bahá’í community development.

The 2010 Bosch BNASAA Conference will be held at Bosch Bahá'í School from 9-12 September. Further information can be obtained by visiting the Bosch website at www.bosch.org or by writing to bnasaa@sympatico.ca.

In November 1989 a conference was held in Montréal, Québec, Canada on the topic of HIV/AIDS. This conference was the beginning of the work of the Bahá'í Network on AIDS, Sexuality, Addictions and Abuse. Over the past 20 years, the Network has held many conferences, seminars and other meetings. To celebrate 20 years of service to the Bahá'í community, BNASAA planned a special 20th Anniversary Conference which was held at Green Acre Bahá'í School in Eliot, Maine from 5 to 8 November 2009. Thank you to all those who attended!
