Our goal is to provide Nunavut mute with the support and resources necessary to take care of their mental health and build stronger families and communities.
Imagine living in a place where nearly half the population is under 25, yet the challenges of overcrowded housing, poor food security, and unemployment are a daily reality. This is Nunavut, a unique jurisdiction with its own set of hurdles when it comes to mental health and addiction support. In this episode of 'Promising Practices', you'll hear about the innovative healing programs making a real difference in this northern community.
From tackling the stigma around seeking help to offering culturally adapted land-based treatment programs, Nunavut is paving the way for meaningful change. You'll learn about mentorship initiatives and Embrace Life Week, both aimed at supporting youth and families. Partnerships with southern facilities ensure that quality care is accessible, no matter the distance.
If you're curious about how these programs are tailored to reflect Inuit culture and foster resilience, this episode offers a deep dive into the collaborative efforts by Canada's provincial and territorial governments to build stronger, healthier communities in Nunavut.
