In honour of Embrace Life Day / World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th the Isaksimagit Inuusirmi Katujjiqatigiit Embrace Life Council (IIKELC) is happy to announce that this year’s Mental Health Creative Writing Contest (MHCWC) is now open! The MHCWC is a contest for Nunavut residents to write stories that are meaningful to oneself, to.

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 2024 Mental Health Art Contest is completed. 12 Winners from across Nunavut have been selected!

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.

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

The theme for this year’s contest was “Memories”! We received many beautiful art submissions from across the territory and would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their artwork.

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.
