We had an amazing evening of sharing and fun on May 26 2021 with the awesome youth at the Military Family Resource Centre on 5 Wing Goose Bay in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL. We had a great discussion! Big thanks to the youth who attended and Heather & Erin for inviting SHIELD Coordinator Denise Cole to present on relationships, sexual health, and consent.
SHIELD partnered with Lawrence O’ Brien Arts Centre to host a youth workshop with Eastern Owl on May 20, 2021. It was an awesome evening of drumming, singing, and sharing with local Labrador youth. SHIELD Coordinator Denise Cole also presented sexual health information. Eastern Owl is an award winning Indigenous women’s drum/music group from Newfoundland and we were so grateful to have them share with us!
Thank you to the sponsors that made this possible and the youth who attended.
Labrador Friendship Centre’s SHIELD Project & YMCA NL partnered to host Healthy Relationships Plus Program (HRPP) for youth in the Lake Melville area ages 12-18.
Along with a great support team, facilitators Dawna Lee & Lisa Sheppard, guided the youth on an 8 week journey about relationships. We are very thankful to the youth participating and all the adults supporting them. We are also very happy to be hosting this at the Lawrence O’Brien Arts Centre, who we partner with often.
