Davonna Kasook was going through her emails at the beginning of the year when one caught her eye.
It was about Jack Summit, a three-day program for youth leaders, aged 18 to 24, who want help end stigma around mental health and bring change to their communities.
“I went through my own issues with mental health and had quite the battle,” says the 21-year-old student at Inuvik’s Aurora College campus.
“I thought if I have the power to change my own life then I must have something in there to help other people.”
