The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) is excited to welcome CommUNITY204 for a two-day event focused on supporting and empowering our youth from March 31 to April 1, 2025, this initiative aims to provide mentorship, guidance, and meaningful activities to the NCN youth while addressing key challenges they face today.
Building Confidence and Resilience
CommUNITY204 fosters positive self-image, mental well-being, and healthy relationships. Their goal for NCN is to create a safe space where youth can openly discuss their struggles and receive the support they need. The program will focus on critical issues such as:
- Self-image and self-worth
- Suicidal ideation
- Substance abuse
- Building healthy relationships
- Coping with everyday challenges
Through mentorship, interactive activities, and open discussions, CommUNITY204 will equip our NCN youth with the tools to navigate challenges and develop a strong sense of self-worth.
A Safe and Inclusive Space for All Youth
This initiative is inclusive to all NCN youth, ensuring our NCN Youth, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to meaningful support. The program will emphasize the importance of peer connection and community support, helping youth see they are not alone in their struggles.
By participating in group activities that promote positive relationship-building, youth will learn the value of trust, communication, and support systems in their journey toward a healthier lifestyle.
Ongoing Support Beyond the Event
One of the most powerful aspects of CommUNITY204’s initiative is its commitment to long-term support. NCN youth will have continued access to CommUNITY204’s peer support helpline, where they can receive one-on-one assistance through:
- Social media platforms: Instagram: community.204 Facebook: Comm.UNITY.204
- Phone: A child will be assigned to a worker
This ensures that mentorship and encouragement continue beyond the two-day event, providing an ongoing lifeline for those who need it most.
A Step Toward a Brighter Future
The visit from CommUNITY204 is an exciting and important opportunity for NCN youth. With guidance and support, young people can develop healthy habits, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of self-worth.
By working together as a community, we can ensure that every NCN youth can access the support they need to thrive. Let’s give CommUNITY204 a warm welcome and show our commitment to empowering the next generation!
