Reminder to vote November 5th!

Join us on November 21, 2024, for the premier of Indigenous State of Mind: A Mental Health Awareness Film presented by Little Earth Boys & Girls Club. This short film was created by Club members and staff from the Little Earth Club for the purpose of raising awareness for mental health, giving Indigenous people a voice to be heard, and challenging all people to speak about their struggles and seek out the proper support to become more healthy individuals for the sake of our communities.

Following the 20-minute film, this event will feature a panel discussion with Little Earth Club members and community leaders about the specific mental health challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required.
