Janine Landry speaks with Leanna Marshall about the Indigenous Student Counsellor Program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Leanna and her colleagues are there to provide counselling to the college’s Indigenous students in whatever area they may need support. The goal of the program is to meet Indigenous students; needs and support them through their college experience. Leanna hears from students; what their issues, concerns, struggles are and from there, creates activities and programs that she believes will help those students. She will bring community people into the college to do activities like beading, skirt making, t-shirt screen making, and much more as a way to connect the students to community people and help them explore activities that may support their mental and emotional health and overall school experience.
