Ullukkut! Thank you for joining the Isaksimagit Inuusirmi Katujjiqatigiit 

Embrace Life Council's (IIKELC) monthly newsletter! 

 

IIKELC is Nunavut's territory-wide suicide prevention non-profit organization. Our mission is to support and encourage Nunavummiut to embrace life. We are committed to offering mental health resources and opportunities to promote community wellness among youth and adults throughout Nunavut.

 

December has been a busy month for us at IIKELC; we travelled across Nunavut offering workshops, hosted a Peer Leadership Program for Kivalliq and Iqaluit youth, held our annual fundraiser, and engaged in professional development through participating in a Motivational Interviewing Training. We hope that this newsletter can sprinkle a little bit of joy and inspiration into your day and offer support in the places it's needed. We are excited to start winding down for the holidays, but wanted to acknowledge that this time of year is not always easy. With this in mind, we have a bundle of holiday resources in this month's newsletter, just in case you or your clients are needing a little bit of extra support during the coming weeks.

 

IIKELC offers a variety of workshops which range from a half day to two full days. These workshops include ASIST and Reach Out (our suicide prevention workshops), Trauma Informed Practice, Our Children Our Responsibility (a workshop on child sexual abuse prevention), Talking to Children About Suicide, and others which can be found here. If you or your community are interested in hosting a workshop please don't hesitate to reach out; we would love to visit your community and share these resources!
