https://lnkd.in/gjN6bbAA Did you know that one in four individuals will experience a stroke at some point in their life? However, a vast majority of these #strokes , almost 90 percent, could be prevented if a few risk factors are addressed. These risk factors include high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), smoking, diet, and #exercise . This year, we are inspiring the global stroke community to raise awareness and take action towards stroke #prevention . Join us and together, let's show that we can be greater than stroke. #strokerehabilitation

Gun violence affects us all, and it is imperative that we come together to gain a comprehensive understanding of this issue.

If you were at the Bonnyville Friendship Centre's MMEIP & Stolen Children Vigil on October 4th, 2023, you heard me introduce a new project we are spearheading! The Intergenerational GBV Engagement project will have three main components. Identify, Heal and Change. This project will identify Gender-Based Violence in each respective community by eliminating barriers for participation. Our goal, is to work alongside each respective communities Health Directors as well as Chief and Council to provide support as needed, to engage participants within each community to come and share their experiences. By identifying Gender-based violence in communities and hearing individuals' experiences, we can outline a plan of action to provide services for any gaps in programming and policy. By using cultural healing practices, we will provide barrier-free Sharing Circles, Community Feasts, Pipe Ceremonies and Missing, Murdered or Exploited Peoples Vigils, like we are today. To raise awareness, speak our truth and say the names of those we have lost, to gender-based violence. Together, we will make lasting changes to Gender-Based Violence policy in our communities. We will create trauma informed resources, supports and bridge the gap between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous peoples, agencies, first responders and communities to end Gender-Based Violence. We welcome you to show your support, and help us get started today!
