Community-led Life Promotion Plans for Indigenous Youth and Communities (Guide)

Community-led Life Promotion Plans for Indigenous Youth and Communities--Guide, developed in response to the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate's Investigative Review: Toward a Better Tomorrow--Addressing the Challenge of Aboriginal Youth Suicide, is an invitation to unite youth, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and individuals engaged in Indigenous youth work to design, plan and launch life promotion strategies and initiatives that bolster community well-being.

Serving as a guide for creating a life promotion plan for youth, it is structured around a five-part framework encompassing life, people, strengths, activities, and implementation. The guide encourages active engagement and collaboration with your community members. A series of questions will lead you through a process that will assist you in drafting your community's Life Promotion Plan.

Cultural and land-based teachings are needed to enhance our youth’s identity in a positive way; we need to help them feel the impact of feeling proud of who they are and where they come from. Many of our youth want to know the culture they need to feel the pride once again in what it means to be aboriginal. To know the ceremonies, the medicines and the history of their people. --Alberta Knowledge Keeper
