Babaamaadiziyuk (They wander about)
This project aims to increase the capacity of the Youth Outreach Workers to identify signs of mental health issues among Indigenous youth program participants due to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The main objective is to assist these youth through culturally appropriate programming and referrals that include Elders and Knowledge Keepers who use cultural activities to improve youth mental health and resiliency. A holistic approach will be implemented to work with indigenous students.
