The Embrace Life Council and the RCMP “V” Division are partnering to launch a contest that seeks to understand how the issues of suicide, mental health and substance abuse affect children and youth in Nunavut. Their understanding of these issues is very important as children and youth can be deeply affected and we believe that an open discussion is necessary to create awareness, educate the public and eliminate stigma.
