LGBT Youth Connection Offering More Summer Programs at CHIGAMIK
In addition to the weekly drop-ins, the group is also holding special events for youth over the summer months, which include group bowling, soap sculpting and group picnics.
Katie Mobbs, Family and Youth Program Coordinator at the Gilbert Centre says “our goal is to make the group a place for LGBT youth to connect with each other and their community. By offering fun events throughout the summer months, we really hope our youth can use the group not only as a social space and safe haven, but a place to build confidence, feel energized, have fun and above all, be themselves!” For more information about the LGBT Youth Connection program, click here.

Art as Medicine:
Traditional Healer Pam Tremblay, talks about healing through creativity
CSC CHIGAMIK CHC’s Aboriginal Traditional Healers understand that sickness begins in spirit, and impacts one’s mind, emotions, and body.
