What’s New

Your mental health is the most important thing, it should be your top priority. You need to know who you are as a person, what your boundaries are, and what helps you feel better about being a good role model.

The Atii Angutiit Program started in Arctic Bay last year and it ran very well… For men, it’s part of their healing process and to develop pride in themselves. I completely encourage the people and the men who go there.

Our annual reports unfold the story of how, together, we’ve navigated the complexities of mental health challenges and suicide prevention, driven by our collective commitment to saving lives and fostering hope.

This year’s territory-wide Mental Health Art Contest is now open and the theme is CONNECTION ♡

I have learned that when we talk about our problems, our mind and body exhales the problems we face.

This art piece acknowledges and identifies trained caregivers and participants who have completed a suicide intervention workshop delivered by IIKELC.

… I learned valuable skills that guided me through high school and ensured that I was taking care of my mental health along the way.

Check out some of our previous newsletters packed with program highlights, mental health resources, inspiring stories from Nunavummiut, and more!

I believe leadership is about inspiring others and leading by example to reach a common goal.

We are honoured to announce that IIKELC has been awarded the Best Community Organization of 2023 by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health.

I don’t know who will need to hear this, but is it okay to set boundaries and protect yourself. You are never too young, old, or far gone to try to better yourself.

Through difficult moments in life it is important to me to recognize where I am in life and who I am supported by.
