** RESEARCH STUDY ON MENTAL HEALTH OF INDIGENOUS POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS **

Kwey Indigenous Carleton Students!

Ozawa Nibi Mikinakikwe nidijinikaz. Kitigan Zibi nidonjiba. My English name is Julianne Dumont and my spirit name is Ozawa Nibi Mikinakikwe. I grew up in Kitigan Zibi and was raised by two proud Anishinabeg parents. I am currently a fourth-year student in my Bachelor (Honours) of Arts in Psychology degree with a concentration in Developmental Psychology and a minor in Indigenous Studies. During this final year of my degree, I must complete an honours thesis and I chose a topic close to my heart... and I'd like to invite you to be part of my research.

I hope to develop a better understanding of the factors related to the mental health of Indigenous students as they participate in a post-secondary experience.

If you are interested in participating, you can complete our 1-minute eligibility survey at:
http://carleton.ca/readylab/cts

Students of all ages and years of study who self-identify as Indigenous are eligible to participate in this study!

If you choose to participate, you will receive a $10 amazon.ca gift code. 

Migwetch for considering this research opportunity,
Julianne Dumont
