Buckle up and let's dive right into what had us buzzing lately:

• A study that examines the factors influencing mental wellness among Inuit youth in Nunavik

• Late last year, the Canadian government announced they would be spending $11 million dollars to help with suicide prevention among the Inuit people

• 10 helpful affirmations if you are struggling with depression

Findings underscore the need for community-driven approaches to mental wellness promotion among Inuit youth

Mental wellness is a complex issue, especially for Inuit youth in Nunavik. But fear not, a recent study has shed some light on the factors that can help protect and promote mental wellness in this community.

Here's what the study found:

👥 Community matters: Inuit youth who had access to strong community social support and higher socio-economic status were more likely to have better mental wellness.

🌟 Culture counts: Traditional activities and pride in Inuit identity were also found to be protective factors.

🚫 Watch out for barriers: On the flip side, barriers to participating in traditional activities, household crowding, and high community rates of violence were risk factors.

So, what can we learn from this study? It's clear that community and culture play a crucial role in mental wellness. By promoting and supporting traditional activities and Inuit identity, we can help protect the mental wellness of Inuit youth. Let's all work together to create a supportive and inclusive community for everyone.

THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS SUICIDE PREVENTION MOVE

The Canadian federal government is investing $11 million into the National Inuit Suicide Prevention Strategy to combat high suicide rates among Inuit communities. The strategy, developed by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), aims to provide support for Inuit children and youth and address various issues affecting mental health.

Here’s the other details:

• Inuit communities in Inuit Nunangat experience suicide rates 5 to 25 times higher than the national average, making suicide prevention crucial.

• The president of ITK, Natan Obed, emphasized the need for more support, particularly for at-risk young Inuit, ensuring safe and supportive environments to address poverty, housing, and other challenges.

• Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu expressed the government's commitment to Indigenous-led suicide prevention strategies and emphasized the importance of accessible support programs.

• The funding will be utilized over the next two fiscal years for initiatives such as Inuit-specific mental health first aid, partnerships with organizations like Kids Help Phone, and projects addressing child sexual abuse, poverty, housing, and food security.

• Evaluating the impact of suicide prevention measures and addressing the underlying issues of suicidal ideation are challenging but essential aspects of the strategy.
