The first clip highlights the different parts of the event. Then the speakers share their stories and thoughts for all the participants.
The final clip is the "SEE ME, HEAR ME" music video produced this year by the Grade 6, 7 and 8 students attending Eel Ground First Nation School in New Brunswick. This song is used in a play about Suicide Awareness and Teenage Stress, that the students produced and presented this past month at various gatherings. They won 5 awards at this year's NB Drama Festival for their performance.
