We had our meeting last night for Health Engaging Youth, as we do every week. We had a different energy yesterday though. It's growing each time and is a fairly new project that will continue hopefully for a long time. The New Mentality is a project sponsored by Children's Mental Health Ontario. It's amazing that there are groups starting up all around Ontario to create a youth-driven network, anti-stigma activities, and youth participation in the health system. We are becoming a strong local connection for mental health issues and body-mind solutions with youth. Our conference is being planned for late October and we are having a good time planning it. There are about eight of us at each meeting and we're run out of the Multicultural Youth Centre. I'm hoping that there will be even bigger events to reach more of Thunder Bay after our conference at a local Native high school with 75 young people. We have already hosted a successful coffee night with local youth talent at our centre. It generated interest in the project and I think everyone involved is so interesting. Even if I go to the meeting tired, I gain energy from our outpouring and brainstorming of ideas and planning. I am excited for the future of the project and while we are planning to release our presentation in June 08 at the conference in Mississauga, the project must be continued as it is so important.
