When Loss Leads to Purpose with Nikk Leavitt - Season 4 Episode 2

For Suicide Prevention Month, iListen chats with Nikk Leavitt, Project Coordinator of the Ed(men)ton Project at Terra Centre, about men’s mental health and the barriers that can make these conversations difficult. With a background in public health, health promotion, and men’s mental health research, Nikk shares how losing his grandfather to suicide shaped his own journey and led him to work in the mental health field.

Outside of work, Nikk practices what he preaches—staying active through running, basketball, the gym, and hiking, with Waterton being his happy place. His work has taught him that caring for your mental health doesn’t have to be complicated.

Ed(men)ton Project at Terra Centre is an initiative that brings organizations and people together to support men’s mental health: https://terracentre.ca/edmenton-project/
