Youth Jewelry Making Program

The aim of the Peer Leadership program is to foster youth’s confidence in being supportive community members, including how to respond to disclosures of abuse and thoughts of suicide, and how to practice self care. We are also looking to form connections between youth from across the region and help them to feel more comfortable.

This year the youth focused on learning suicide intervention skills, healthy relationships and boundaries for oneself, and the importance of youth mental health in Nunavut. 

Youth spent time with special guest speaker Don Burnstick, who facilitated talking circles on a range of topics including Indigenous community healing, sober living and healthy lifestyles, and cyberbullying.
