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.

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

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

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.

The hard moments don’t last forever even though at times it may feel that way.

We all face difficulties in our day-to-day lives and have seen a lot of pain within our communities so I think it is very important to stay connected with everyone around us, and find our support systems. You are never alone.

After lots of different kinds of scraps began piling up, the Iqaluit office decided to give out free ziplock bags full of sealskin & fox fur scraps that could be used for sewing, arts, and crafts projects!

A Bracelet Making event took place in Cambridge Bay at the beginning of 2021.
