Published purpose
The project aims to address the opioid and mental health crisis affecting Métis and urban Indigenous youth aged 16 to 27. The team, consisting of 2 Indigenous Wellness Counsellors and two Elder Mentors, will provide one-to-one support services and cultural programming to around 25 identified at-risk youth. The project will focus on assessing basic needs, restoring connections to family and natural supports, and developing safety plans to prevent overdoses. The project also incorporates traditional practices like honoring and gifting to encourage and motivate at-risk youth.
