Join us for an evening of invigorating discussion on mental health, wellness and social connectedness in the era of COVID-19 and how we can best support our youth. Featuring a group of individuals working to advocate for mental and social wellbeing, the event will kick-off with a keynote speech by Nicole German, mother of former NT student Madeline Coulter.

All ticket proceeds from this event will go towards the Foundation’s newly-established Wellness Fund. Developed in response to Canada’s ballooning youth mental health crisis, and in partnership with the NTCI Guidance Department, this fund will support student mental health and wellness initiatives at the school. These include—but are not limited to—individual counselling with a health professional or social worker, participation in programs developed by organizations providing mental health support to students, or any other initiative which, at the discretion of the Guidance Department, is considered to be effective in assisting NTCI students with their mental health needs.
