Land
Acknowledgement
As a provincial entity, Partners for Youth acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
We, the staff and members of the board, pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people in New Brunswick.

Mindful Kids is an engaging program that helps children develop mindfulness skills, giving them tools to navigate life with clarity and composure. 🌿✨ One key concept is using "anchors"—focal points that ground us in the present moment, away from distractions. Anchors can be anything from breath and body sensations to sounds, visuals, or affirmations. By practicing mindfulness, children learn to stay centered and calm, even in life’s turbulent moments. 💙
