Kaa-wiichitoyaahk (We Take Care of Each Other): Comprehensive Métis Mental Wellness Community Capacity Building Implementation

This project aims to build capacity and confidence within Métis communities across British Columbia through the adaptation and province-wide scale up of LivingWorks.  LivingWorks is an evidence-based mental health promotion and suicide prevention program that offers a continuum of community-based programming including integrated training, information, and resources designed to promote mental health and create a network of safety for those in crisis. The project will also collaborate with LivingWorks to develop a Métis Learning Supplement that will serve as a permanent resource to deliver courses ensuring the cultural safety of Métis participants. The project is expected to reach 18,000 Métis people across British Columbia.

Lead organization: Métis Nation of British Columbia

Location: British Columbia
