Supporting Wellbeing: Bridging Nature and Mental Health in Remote Areas

I hope that participants feel more safe and supported before, during and after programs.
Imagine a program that combines the tranquility of nature with essential mental health training. That's exactly what the Supporting Wellbeing initiative does. This award-winning program, spotlighted on People First Radio, aims to tackle mental health challenges in the Northwest Territories, where traditional resources are scarce and suicide rates are high. By integrating land-based activities with six carefully crafted modules, the program offers a holistic approach to mental wellness.
Participants learn conflict resolution and grounding techniques, all while fostering a sense of community and support among themselves. The initiative's creators share their insights on how this unique blend of nature and mental health training is making a tangible difference in remote communities. With its successful pilot phase now complete, Supporting Wellbeing is set to expand to new regions, bringing its innovative approach to even more people in need.
