She grew up in a small First Nations community in the Northwest Territories and struggled with her indigenous identity; he grew up in a middle- class family, playing hockey in a lakeside Ontario town. Today, Redvers is a graduate student, and McFadden is captain of the Guelph Storm hockey team and a first-year student at U of G.<\/p>\n<p>The common thread they share isn\u2019t obvious, but it affects up to 20 per cent of Canadian youth. Mental illness has touched both of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019re using their personal experiences to raise awareness and make things better for others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Garrett McFadden, mental health advocate and founder of McFadden's Movement.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden-406x270.jpg 406w, https:\/\/porticomagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mcfadden.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Breaking the stigma of \u201cmental toughness\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>He was already stickhandling roles as full-time captain of the Guelph Storm hockey team and part-time economics student at the University of Guelph. Now Garrett McFadden is devoting time to a new campaign intended to encourage young athletes to talk about mental health issues. It\u2019s an initiative rooted in his brush with a teenage hockey player who took his own life several years ago.<\/p>\n<p>McFadden\u2019s Movement, a nonprofit foundation established last fall, is intended to teach young athletes about signs of mental health issues and strategies for addressing problems. Under the initiative, the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) player visits area minor hockey teams to discuss mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to make sure they know they have people to talk to and tools out there to help them,\u201d says McFadden, speaking rink-side on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Besides sharing information, he\u2019s raising funds for the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and for Wes for Youth, an online counselling and resource site for people with mental health issues. Jamie and Yolanda Cameron in Walkerton, Ont., established the program after their son Wes died by suicide at age 16.<\/p>\n<p>That was just over five years ago, but the memory is still raw for McFadden, 19.<\/p>\n<p>McFadden grew up in Kincardine, Ont., where he started playing organized hockey at age four. He and Cameron played in the Grey Bruce Highlanders minor hockey league, where they faced off against each other a few times.<\/p>\n<p>[pullquote]\u201cIt\u2019s important to make sure they know they have people to talk to and tools out there to help them.\u201d[\/pullquote]<\/p>\n<p>Before Cameron\u2019s death, McFadden knew nothing about mental health issues. Since then, he\u2019s learned plenty about the topic \u2014 and about dealing with some of life\u2019s ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p>Drafted by the Storm at age 16, he moved to Guelph in 2014. That year, the team won the OHL championship, although rookie No. 27 saw little ice time. He missed much of the next season due to injuries. Last year, the team won only 13 games all year. Watching teammates\u2019 reactions and behaviour as assistant captain during that bruising season, McFadden found himself learning about motivation, handling emotions and team play.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the Storm defender was named captain. With a young team battling inconsistencies on the ice, that role has involved plenty of discussion with teammates, both collectively and one-on-one.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about their struggles made McFadden think about Wes Cameron. When Stephanie Coratti, the Storm\u2019s community relations coordinator, met with a few team members last spring to discuss community engagement, McFadden broached his idea.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new program, McFadden visits minor hockey teams around Guelph for hour-long talks. Typically he speaks to about 20 people at a time, although one session drew close to 50 people, including parents.<\/p>\n<p>In his talk, he discusses the 2011 incident as well as struggles since then on and off the ice. Also part of the program is Jessica Schumacher, youth engagement facilitator with the CMHA. She provides information about teen suicide and mental health, including signs of stress, coping strategies and where to go for help.<\/p>\n<p>Schumacher says McFadden\u2019s combination of youthfulness and his status as a major junior player make him a role model for younger players, as well as a good foil for her own presentation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGarrett getting up to tell a story shows huge strength,\u201d says Schumacher, who runs a CMHA peer suicide prevention and health promotion program in local high schools. \u201cIt also shows his vulnerable side, dealing with the loss of someone he knows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s able to talk on their level. It\u2019s awesome to see someone they admire and look up to affected by mental health issues and still press on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s especially important for young athletes who often feel compelled to keep quiet about problems, she says. \u201cYou need to be strong, you\u2019re not allowed to show emotion, and you\u2019re supposed to keep things inside. It\u2019s really important to reduce the stigma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McFadden gives about two to three talks a month \u2014 about as much as his hockey and school schedule will allow. He admits he was nervous about talking to kids about mental health. \u201cWhat if I don\u2019t make an impact?\u201d he thought. \u201cThat\u2019s what frightens me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He need not have worried.<\/p>\n<p>Attending the talks, Coratti, BA \u201915, watches listeners\u2019 reactions to gauge how they\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few kids were barely blinking. They were just eyes on Garrett \u2014 full attention,\u201d she says. \u201cIf he can see that he\u2019s helped one kid, that\u2019s a success to him.\u201d \u2013ANDREW VOWLES<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b>Signs that someone may be struggling<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Suicide is among the leading causes of premature death in Canada among people ages 15 to 24, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

Like many aboriginal youth in Canada, she experienced feelings of isolation and witnessed the effects of substance abuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrug and alcohol addiction was very present and visible growing up in the communities and also within my extended family,\u201d says Redvers, BA \u201916. \u201cThis visibility made it really normalized, and I saw a lot of people suffering and struggling.\u201d Her personal struggles led to a suicide attempt at age 15.<\/p>\n<p>Recent headlines have brought national attention to the high rates of aboriginal youth suicide in Can- ada, with victims as young as 10. Redvers points to Attawapiskat First Nation in Northern Ontario, where last year a state of emergencywas declared due to the epidemic of suicide attempts on the reserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere really is a crisis in Canada,\u201d she says. \u201cWe were just so overwhelmed by it and tired of hearing about these statistics, so we decided to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fall 2016, Redvers and her filmmaker brother, Kelvin, launched a national campaign called We Matter to provide hope and support to aboriginal young people. It models itself after the It Gets Better campaign for LGBTQ youth.<\/p>\n<p>The siblings created short videos of aboriginal role models across Canada who beat the odds to not only survive but also thrive. Aboriginal icons such as comedian Don Burnstick, Manitoba politician Wab Kinew and CBC reporter Angela Sterritt are among those who have shared their experiences in We Matter videos, which are posted on the website and have received thousands of views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still get emotional watching some of the videos,\u201d says Redvers. \u201cThere has never been a space like this before, especially for young people, to have so many positive, strong indigenous voices in one public spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[pullquote]\u201cThere has never been a space like this before, especially for young people, to have so many positive, strong indigenous voices in one public spot.\u201d[\/pullquote]<\/p>\n<p>She says We Matter gives the aboriginal community a platform to share their stories of hope and survival while turning tragedy into possibility. The website also wel-comes video submissions from any-one who wants to offer messages of support to indigenous communities.<\/p>\n<p>Redvers attributes some of her own identity struggles to the lack of aboriginal role models she had while growing up and the negative portrayal of indigenous people in the media. Having access to a site like We Matter could have made a difference in her life, she says.<\/p>\n<p>Redvers eventually moved to Yellowknife with her father and got involved in sports and other extracurricular activities available in a larger city.<\/p>\n<p>When she came to U of G, she was drawn to international development studies for its focus on social justice and global issues. She travelled to India as part of the Global Youth Network and to Guatemala for a study abroad trip. A three-month internship with Right to Play brought her to Northern Ontario, where she helped organize sports-based summer camps for First Nations communities.<\/p>\n<p>Redvers credits the Aboriginal Resource Centre at U of G for its support while she was a student. She\u2019s now pursuing a master of social work degree.<\/p>\n<p>According to Health Canada, First Nations youth face a suicide rate that\u2019s five to seven times higher than for non-aboriginal youth, and Inuit youth have some of the highest suicide rates globally at 11 times the national average.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it comes down to a real sense of hopelessness in youth and getting to the point where you feel nothing is going to get better,\u201d says Redvers. She points to the lingering effects of colonization and residential schools (her grandmother grew up in a residential school in the Northwest Territories), substance abuse, loss of cultural traditions and lack of support for those who need help.<\/p>\n<p>Since its launch, We Matter has reached more than one million people on social media and has received national media coverage. Redvers hopes the campaign will start a conversation about mental health, and help guide indigenous youth who are struggling with suicidal thoughts and hardship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe try to provide that little bit of hope \u2014 that little bit of light \u2014 for youth to catch onto.\u201d \u2013SUSAN BUBAK<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b>Where to get help<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Seeking help for a mental health concern is one of the biggest hurdles for students, says U of G psychology professor Margaret Lumley.
