Questions on Research project<\/strong><\/h3><\/h1><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is the Virtual Qaggiq Project?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Virtual Qaggiq is a research project that involves testing and providing feedback on an Inuit mental wellness game, created by Inuit youth, Elders, and cultural advisors from 9 communities in Nunavut – Arctic Bay, Baker Lake, Cambridge Bay, Iqaluit, Kimmirut, Kinngait, Pangnirtung, Pond Inlet, and Taloyoak! As a participant in the project, you will be asked to play one or two games, including the Virtual Qaggiq – a 7-level mobile game that teaches skills for helping with low mood and negative thoughts. You will be asked to share your thoughts and feedback on the game through surveys!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This game was designed by Inuit youth, community members, and Elders to support Inuit youth mental wellness. While participating in this research project, we hope that you feel connected to your culture and community as your feedback will help us determine if this tool is helpful, and whether to make it available to other youth throughout Nunavut.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
