HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS VIDEO:

How do young people define wellness? What do they want to see for their own wellbeing and that of their communities? How can those of us working in community provide stronger support?

Centering Youth Voices: Visions of Personal & Community Wellness, hosted by New Leaf Foundation on May 18, 2022, was a powerful conversation led by young leaders sharing their vision of wellness.

With thanks to Community Healing Project, Peacebuilders Canada, Pathways to Education, RexPride, Rexdale Community Health Centre, NeighbourhoodLink North York, LayUp, and McCall MacBain Foundation for their support and participation.
