Métis Youth Wellness Connection: January Sessions for Teens and Tweens
Métis Youth Wellness Connection: January Sessions for Teens and Tweens
Navigating today’s world for youth can be complicated and challenging. Shifting from the teen years to young adulthood requires young people to be equipped with the tools to build resilience, feel comfortable and confident having conversations about what is going on in their lives, and monitor their wellness.
This online hub is where Métis youth can interact, share and exchange. The hub will have one-stop access to navigators, youth council representatives, traditional knowledge keepers, specialists and monthly guest visitors.
This January, the interactive discussions will focus on the subject of substance use and will be split into two age-appropriate sessions.
