"I feel compelled to be among the many people who are working to advocate for Indigenous youth, improve their wellness and ensure that our communities and our cultures are in the conversation and have a permanent place at the table." - @DrMushquash#BellLetsTalk
Just finishing up the Youth Summit hosted by Communities Building Youth Futures. I alway appreciate time to share some space with young people and how to better help support them.
Another family member was called home. My brother Trevor was taken from us in a very undeserving way. Nothing should have led up to another person taking another person’s life.
I’m still in shock and processing it. I’m going to miss my brother a lot.
Our community lost another strong and influential person.
I’m going to miss my mentor (Shirley Bighead). Like my dad she has given me the tools to continue forward in however I’m defining that. I hope I can continue to do right by them and their teachings.
If you had some time today the Saskatchewan Integrated Youth Services is having a Webinar on Community Mapping and the Importance of Youth Engagement in an hour. Link in the bio.

We celebrated my dad’s life today. It was healing to hear about all the people he was able to reach/share space with.
He was pillar in the community. I’m always going to be thankful and proud of him for all the work he has done. Glad to have had the privilege of being his son.
Integrated Youth Services is being developed in Saskatchewan!
May 23rd is the deadline for applications! Any youth living in SK ages 12-25 can apply to be apart of our co-design team. More information is in the link.
