What’s My Voice My Choice?

My Voice My Choice provides information and activities to young people that can help support confident personal health and wellness choices. This initiative is a response to youth in the Northwest Territories (NWT) requesting more information on these topics.

What is being offered?

Are you a young person or someone who works with youth in the NWT? Do you want free resources to support yourself or someone else? We can help!

The Government of Northwest Territories’ My Voice My Choice initiative is offering FREE mental wellness boxes for youth and those that work with youth! 

Each box covers a different wellness topic and is filled with local resources, information, creative activities, and supplies that encourage theme exploration. 

What’s in the box?

Each box has a different theme: Sexual Health, Healthy Relationships, Healthy Coping, Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention, Mental Health and Substance Use, and Looking After Our Land. The boxes contain information on the specific topic, local resources that can help, and different creative/art inspired health promotion activities.

There are two types of boxes: one meant for an individual youth and one meant for a youth serving organization.  For youth serving organizations, we offer a facilitator’s guide with lessons and activities to be done with groups of youth.  Facilitator boxes include enough material for a facilitator to deliver the information to a group of five.

The box resources are for the benefit of all young people in the NWT, regardless of who they are.

How do I learn more or sign up for a box?

Box 1 Sexual Health was released on March 28, 2022.  The following boxes go live every 2 months.

Keep an eye out for public service announcements that signal the launch of a new box!

Send all inquiries and box requests to mha@gov.nt.ca.

Please note, resources are limited, and boxes will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
