Isumajunnattiarniq 17+‎

The Isumajunnattiarniq app is a culturally relevant, inclusive, and accessible digital tool designed to support the mental health and well-being of Nunavummiut. Named after the Inuktitut word for mindfulness, Isumajunnattiarniq aims to provide a safe and supportive resource for users of all ages to help manage stress and trauma-related symptoms. Recognizing the ongoing challenges faced by remote communities in accessing physical and mental healthcare services, the app offers a modern, Nunavut-specific solution that combines traditional wisdom with innovative digital technology.

Key features of the Isumajunnattiarniq app include:

- Cultural Relevance and Connection: The app is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Nunavut, reflecting the traditional six seasons—Ukiuq, Upirngaksaaq, Upirgngaaq,
Aujaq, Ukiaqsaaq, and Ukiaq.

- Holistic Wellness Approach: The app offers a variety of features aimed at supporting users overall wellness, including guided mindfulness practices, therapeutic breathing
exercises, and stories from elders that promote intergenerational wisdom.

- Multilingual and Inclusive: To ensure accessibility and inclusivity, the app is available in Inuktitut and English, with Inuinnaqtun coming soon.

- Offline Accessibility: Understanding the challenges of limited internet access in remote areas of Nunavut, Isumajunnattiarniq is designed to function both online and offline.

- Community-Driven Development: The app was created through a collaborative process involving local entrepreneurs, elders, Inuit artists, and family wellness experts, in
partnership with Pinnguaq Association. This co-creative approach ensures that the app reflects the needs and values of the community it serves, making it a truly representative and meaningful resource for Nunavummiut.
