The NWT Government is launching the third of five free mental health and wellness resource packs for young people.
The theme of the last packet is “healthy coping”. The box includes reading material, information on local resources, coloring sheets, and activity kits from northern artists.
The territory’s Department of Health and Social Services (HSS) has already published two boxes, on sexual health and healthy relationships. The remaining two, scheduled for the coming months, focus on the topics of self-harm and substance use.
The subscription boxes, available by mail, are part of the territory’s My Voice My Choice campaign, which began in 2011 “to empower youth to resist alcohol and drugs,” but has since expanded to focus on mental well-being.
Youth ages 13-18, as well as youth-oriented organizations, can request boxes by contacting [email protected].
