Yesterday, our very own Dr. Lindsay Woods, Director of Clinical Services for our MACC Program, presented at the Adolescent Parent Interagency Network Virtual Conference – “Anxiety and Youth”

The topic of the Conference was: "Many youth experience mental health disorders like anxiety. This presentation will include an overview of common anxiety disorders in youth and the potential origins and influences of these disorders. Social media, biology, awareness, all contribute to these experiences. A review of common treatment modalities will also be discussed including resources that can be accessed by youth and those that support them."

We are at a loss for words at your kindness, generosity, and support in response to the fire that occurred a few weeks ago.

Many traditional Indigenous items were lost in the fire. Precious items such as star blankets, murals, rattles and drums.

These items are an important part of traditional Indigenous teachings. Many of these one-of-a-kind items were created by the children and youth in our Opikihiwawin cultural program.

Any support you can give will be to recreate and/or replace items lost.
