通过艺术拓宽自杀意识

Every employee is encouraged to speak up about health and wellness, particularly if they are—or feel someone is—in need of assistance or support.

除了为所有员工提供的一系列健康和健康资源,服务和机会外,Teck都很自豪地支持解决我们运营的社区心理健康和健康的编程。

关于一个这样的计划的以下文章分享了Connect来自Teck的Red Dog操作Suvisi通讯。

For the second year, Red Dog was a primary sponsor for The Winter Bear Project, an outreach program featuring a play with a message of hope, health, well-being and saving lives.

In April, the Winter Bear Project production team of 12 people travelled to the Alaskan communities of Buckland and Shungnak to put on a full performance for the communities that everyone, young and old, could enjoy at no personal cost. During the visits, the cast and crew hosted a variety of performing arts-related workshops for youth, designed to build self-esteem. Before each performance, the communities also held a special potluck for the guests, creating a safe place for open dialogue on suicide awareness.

The Winter Bear play is based on the life of respected leader and role model amongst the Indigenous people of Alaska, the late Sidney Huntington. The performance tells the story of an Alaska Native teenager who is contemplating suicide, and ultimately rises above his trauma to become a leader with the help of Elder Huntington. The Winter Bear is able to present the difficult subject of suicide in a captivating way, under the mission of “changing the climate of fear and hopelessness that breeds suicide by broadening awareness, stimulating dialogue, and promoting healing through the performing arts.”

Red Dog’s community investment focus is on community wellness in the region, supporting programs of health, hope and life. “Suicide has impacted almost every one of us in our region, and our people are looking to leading entities for support. Teck recognizes this and is actively participating,” explains Verna Westlake, Community Investment Coordinator, Red Dog. “The play portrays the seriousness of the message, while incorporating humour and clarity, in a way that students from kindergarten to high school, young adults, adults and Elders are moved by.”
