attendance to provide support to youth throughout the day.
What’s it all about?
Youth are invited to take part in The Healing Journey Youth Forum as we recognize
the vital role that youth play in preventing violence in our community. By attending
youth, will have the opportunity to connect, learn and share. The day will focus on
traditional teachings and the importance of fostering healthy relationships among
Aboriginal youth. The Committee’s vision is to reclaim our traditional and rightful place
in the Sacred Circle of Life, by promoting ownership, accountability and selfdetermination in keeping with our teachings, values and roles as Aboriginal women,
men, and youth within our families and communities.
The registration deadline is November 16th.
Being in a violent relationship is not just a
problem for adults.
