SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES MEANS
SUPPORTING EACH OTHER

As Indigenous communities strive to become whole again, we
must also remember the importance of our individual health.

Embody our Values. Empower our People. Soar Above Stigma

You Can Soar Above!

One in three Indigenous people face mental wellness issues and many lack the support to help ease the issue. Soar Above Stigma aims to provide those suffering from addictions, mental health, or COVID-related matters a space to see that they are not alone in our communities while providing outreach support and stigma education for all Indigenous community members. By supporting our communities and looking towards traditional teachings we hope to put an end to the stigma of talking openly about these issues.

Stigma is a word most of us are familiar with, yet stigma comes with a complex social process of labeling, stereotyping, devaluing, and discriminating others. Health Organizations world wide have identified that Stigma is a leading concern amid Covid 19.

 

      • The Stigma of being Covid positive and fears around testing positive.

     

      • Stigma surrounding Mental health issues and it’s escalation during the Covid Pandemic (can’t get to work, depression, anxiety, mental illness, manic episodes).

     

      • The Stigma of addictions and drug use (or turning to drugs as a way of coping) during Covid 19
