Youth Life Promotion
Through the services offered by the program, Inuit youth are supported in their emotional well-being through holistic, culturally grounded supports that instill a sense of belonging, purpose, meaning and hope, in the context of their communities.
Our goal is to:
- Improve mental health and well-being of Inuit youth by increasing traditional knowledge, enhancing cultural identity through holistic, land-based, and culturally appropriate mental health services and programming
- Improve outcomes and opportunities for Inuit youth in Ontario by increasing access to evidence-based programming and interventions
- Provide opportunities and resources for Inuit youth to access support on the mental wellness spectrum
- Enable Inuit youth to remain in their communities, receiving culturally appropriate services from local providers and preventing them from escalating into crisis
