Every year on September 10th, we recognize World Suicide Prevention Day / Embrace Life Day. The annual Embrace Life Walk happened in communities all across Nunavut to show support for one another. This year, IIKELC held special events in Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet to celebrate life and promote wellness for all ages. These activities also.

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.

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.

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

September 10th is Embrace Life Day / World Suicide Prevention Day and every year IIKELC honours this day with Nunavummiut to acknowledge the lives of our loved ones and to promote life.

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.

Isaksimagit Inuusirmi Katujjiqatagiit Embrace Life Council was thrilled to host an Auricular Acu-Technician (AAT) Training through the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

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.

…the holidays can be hard, especially if you’ve lost a loved one to suicide. We created this Holiday Self-Care calendar and invited Nunavummiut to follow along with these self-care prompts over the winter break of 2022/2023.
