Inuusivut partners provide direction, feedback and support to the project, ensuring its success.
The Embrace Life Council is administering the Inuusivut Project. Established in 2003, the Embrace Life Council works to support and encourage Nunavummiut to value life.
FNIHB provides core project funding for the Inuusivut project, as well as four other National Demonstration Projects across Canada, through the National Aboriginal Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy (NAYSPS). FNIHB also provides support to the Spirit of Life Network, which was created through the Mental Health Promotion Pilot Projects.
The National Inuit Youth Council represents the interests of Inuit youth in Canada. Across the Inuit regions of Inuvialuit, Kitikmeot, Kivalliq, Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut, there is an estimated 45,000 Inuit living in 53 communities. Inuit youth make up a clear majority of the overall population. Regular phone conferences and meetings are held to keep communications open, exchange ideas, share information on resources and opportunities and guide NIYC projects and activities.
The National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) is an Aboriginal-designed and -controlled body committed to influencing and advancing the health and well-being of Aboriginal Peoples by carrying out knowledge-based strategies.

With Aboriginal communities as its primary focus, NAHO gathers, creates, interprets, disseminates, and uses both traditional Aboriginal and contemporary western healing and wellness approaches.
