Published purpose
This project will examine what Inuit frontline mental health workers identify as necessary to sustain and strengthen their roles in Nunavut’s mental health system, which is shaped by colonial legacies, systemic inequities, and a severe suicide crisis. Using in-depth interviews and the Critical Incident Technique, it will center Inuit perspectives to understand key challenges and supports in their work. This research aims to inform more culturally grounded, trauma-informed services and improve recruitment and retention of Inuit mental health professionals.
