Looking Forward: Stardale's Expanding Impact in 2026
Introducing Our Curriculum Offering
Another cornerstone of this new year is the expansion of our Stardale curriculum offering. Our curriculum has been thoughtfully developed to empower organizations, groups, and communities with tools that foster understanding, growth, and meaningful change. Drawing on decades of experience, Stardale has developed a comprehensive curriculum designed to create meaningful change in Indigenous youth suicide prevention. Our program brings critical learning opportunities to individuals, corporate teams, educational institutions, and communities across the country.
What makes our curriculum unique is its foundation in authentic lived experiences. Every module has been thoughtfully crafted by Stardale facilitators, participants, and team members who understand these challenges firsthand. This approach ensures our educational content is both deeply informed and genuinely impactful.
Visit our new curriculum website launching on January 21 to discover how Stardale's training programs can support your organization or community in this vital work. Through these offerings, more organizations can benefit from Stardale's approach of creating ripple effects that strengthen communities, uplift voices, and break cycles. This curriculum has been a long time in the making and is a significant step forward for us that allows Stardale to grow sustainably while staying true to our purpose.
Continuing Our Community Outreach and Storytelling Work
As we expand our curriculum offerings, Stardale remains deeply committed to our ongoing community outreach work. Our facilitators and the young women we serve continue to travel across communities, sharing powerful stories and presentations that address some of the most challenging issues facing Indigenous youth today. These sessions don't shy away from difficult subject matter—we address trafficking, exploitation, and the vulnerabilities that young Indigenous women face with honesty and courage.
The young women of Stardale exemplify what it means to bridge two worlds. They carry the strength of their cultural heritage while navigating contemporary realities, embodying the living practice of reconciliation in their daily lives. Through their storytelling, they create spaces for understanding and healing, transforming their own experiences into pathways for change. This work extends beyond suicide prevention to encompass the full spectrum of challenges Indigenous girls and young women encounter, including the critical issue of trafficking, which disproportionately affects Indigenous communities.
Our presentations create crucial conversations in schools, organizations, and communities about protection, prevention, and the systemic factors that put Indigenous youth at risk. By bringing these tough subjects into the light through authentic voices and lived experiences, we're building awareness and inspiring action where it's needed most. This community-facing work remains at the heart of who we are, ensuring that Stardale's impact reaches far beyond our program walls to touch lives across the country.
