EVENTS AND LOCATIONS

The Swampy Cree Suicide Prevention Team has developed Community Advisory Councils of 6-8 people within each of the Swampy Cree communities. The councils include members from various organizations and interests within the communities such as elders, youth, educators, health workers, clergy and band council. The purpose of these councils is to take a leadership role in developing community wellness and suicide prevention activities specific to each of the communities. The first step is to meet with Community Advisory Councils for several days to discuss programs and activities that are already happening in the communities and then to talk about what other programs might be helpful. During the 2-day meetings, Community Advisory Councils were also given a half-day suicide awareness training called safeTALK. The Circle of Life project being planned for the summer of 2010 is a follow-up to the discussions and feedback from the Community Advisory Councils and interviews with community members.
