Violence & Abuse
Peer Pressure
Respect
Hot Topics in Society
Violence and abuse are very common in
our community. Drugs & alcohol is often a
major cause of violence.
Peer pressure can be a good thing, like how our kids look up to positive role
models.
It can also be a bad thing, like when
someone wants to quit drinking but their friends pressure them into drinking.
Many of our community members
have depression from things like residential school, abuse, gossip, low self-esteem etc. Depression is also a
health issue.
Respect is something that has always been very important to our
people, especially respect for our
elders.

Society means people. How a group of people gets along, what we do with our time, and how we treat each
other. Family & friendships are important parts of society.
Depression
Do we have enough
support for people with addictions?
What kind of healing is
needed for those with depression?
Close family ties and a small
community means that many people have a good support
network
Who teaches us how to be ‘good people’?
