Mental Health and COVID-19 Supports
Utilizing a traditional and contemporary hands-on approach the youth of Mistawasis Nehiyawak are building awareness, knowledge, and skills for wellness. They are building Mental Health Literacy through art, research, discussion, land-based activity and storytelling. Using the cultural, traditional, and spiritual practices of the Mistawasis Nehiyawak people, the project is building positive engagement and recreating connections with youth, their families, and their communities that were lost through COVID. Currently 34 youth in grades 10 to 12 are participating in a curriculum-based course and planning their Youth Wellness Summit. The community is working together to support a Circle of Care Case Management Model to ensure both mental wellness protective factors and risk factors are addressed. System supports are collaborating on pathways to wellness for the youth in the community.
