Ways you could help someone struggling with depression:

- Ask them "how can I help you?"
- Let them know you are there for them
- Be willing to listen attentively
- Visit them or send them a gift card
- Do activities with them
- Don't try to fix them

What would you add?

Note: YMHC now has gift cards available in our store to give to someone else so they can purchase the wellness resources they need.

As humans, we all have needs. We all crave connection, belonging, and community. We all need help from time to time and should never feel ashamed for asking for it. It is human.

Connection and community are vital aspects of suicide prevention and mental wellness.

The focus on positivity has silenced and invalidated people's feelings and experiences and led to judgments and shaming. A healthy society allows for the range of feelings related to challenges in living.

β€œI think there is pressure on people to turn every negative into a positive, but we should be allowed to say, 'I went through something really strange and awful and it
has altered me forever.”

Indigenous Disability Awareness Month

#idam #Indigenous #Disability #disabilityawareness #ymhc

Indigenous peoples of Canada experience a disability rate significantly higher than that of the general population. indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM) brings awareness of these barriers and the issues that Indigenous peoples living with disabilities and their families face every day. More importantly though, in spite of these barriers, IDAM celebrates the achievements of Indigenous peoples living with disabilities and recognize the significant and valuable contributions they make to our communities socially, economically, and culturally every day.

indigenous Disability Awareness Month (IDAM) was created by BCANDS in 2015, and 2023 is it's 9th anniversary! Since then, IDAM is now annually declared and recognized by the Provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the Assembly of First Nations, BC First Nations Summit, MΓ©tis Nation of BC, Council of Yukon First Nations, the Town of Inuvik, and hundreds of other organizations and communities across Canada. IDAM is the only Indigenous disability specific awareness initiative of its kind in the world. In 2017 the United Nations International Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities recommended to Canada to officially declare November as IDAM annually.
