Thanks for the question. I'll try to answer it as quickly as possible.
Within our group of indigenous youth who we work with, the majority are women or two-spirit folks. Within how we do things in a community-based approach, we're able to take care of each other through peer-to-peer support and also what we call an auntie network.
That leaves me on call, though. I'm on call 24 hours, and I don't even have a full-time job to do this. Sometimes I have to respond to a suicide intervention crisis at three in the morning. I know that if I don't go, no one's going, so I have to go. That's the same experience of multiple youth groups across the country.
Then there are the youth who aren't a part of those community groups because of the lack of capacity. Those are the young people we're seeing pass away. Those are cousins of young people within our youth group who are having to deal with suicide, having to see their loved ones being murdered.
