Since 2012, we have supported youth to:

• Know where to reach out for help
• Learn healthy ways to cope
• Create safe spaces for youth to talk about the heavy issues they face as Inuit youth in Canada.

In 2019, we opened Nunavut’s first centre of excellence in response to child abuse in Nunavut, the Umingmak Centre. Please visit www.umingmakcentre.ca for more information.
