You don't have to feel bad- and I think a lot of people use that guilt mentality when it comes to avoiding the conversations of premature death.
Imagine being part of a community where suicide rates are alarmingly high, especially among the youth. In this heartfelt episode of 'Mino Bimaadiziwin', you'll hear from Connor Lafortune and Gabrielle Jubinville, two inspiring young leaders who are making a difference. They share their personal journeys and the development of the 'Strengthening our Connections to Promote Life' toolkit, a resource designed by Indigenous youth to combat these tragic statistics.
Gabrielle, a Hope Ambassador with We Matter and former US Division One college basketball player, brings her unique perspective from her work in Manitoba. Connor, an Anishinaabek writer and activist, offers his insights from his academic background in Indigenous Studies and Gender Equality. Together, they discuss how spirituality and cultural practices are vital in reconnecting with oneself and the community. They emphasize the importance of promoting life rather than focusing on guilt in conversations about suicide prevention.
This episode is not just about statistics; it's about real stories, real solutions, and a genuine effort to foster hope and resilience within Indigenous communities. Tune in to be inspired and to learn how you can be part of this life-affirming movement.
