November 23rd and 24th, 2017
\nLakehead University, Thunder Bay<\/p>\n

The First Nations Youth Transition to High School Forum brought together First Nations youth from three high schools in Sioux\u00a0Lookout and Thunder Bay \u00a0together with researchers, members of community organizations, health, education and youth services to share expertise and explore an action and research agenda to promote student success and wellness. The meeting themes addressed priorities that students had previously expressed as key to their success including<\/p>\n

(1) the continuity of supports from communities<\/a><\/p>\n

(2) lateral violence (bullying, gossip, sexual assault)<\/a><\/p>\n

(3) racism and creating a safe environment <\/a><\/p>\n

(4) variability in students\u2019 skills – staying in high school<\/a><\/p>\n

(5) promoting mental health and choosing life.<\/a><\/p>\n

First Nations high school students worked with us over the fall in teams with graduate student coaches to refine and prepare a presentation on each of these five themes, which were presented at the forum in Thunder Bay. The following illustrations were generated from the content of the presentations (left side) and from conversations with participants (right side- ‘path forward’). You can also click the theme titles above to download PDF versions of these illustrations.<\/p>\n
