On September 10, 2021, many communities in Nunavut took part in activities to support Suicide Prevention Day/Embrace Life Day. There was a walk to remember loved ones, release of the lantern, community giving out food and drinks for families, and other local recreational activities.
IIKELC would like to thank the communities for taking lead in their activities. Thank you for comforting and supporting each other. We are here with you. We are proud of all those who helped to make this week possible and came out to support suicide prevention.

Words from Gwen Natsiq
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.
Words from Jordan Konek
I have learned that when we talk about our problems, our mind and body exhales the problems we face.
