Join us for our March Social event

This presentation introduces Mountain Muskox, a community-driven organization providing professionally facilitated peer support circles for individuals affected by traumatic events in mountain environments. Inspired by the protective circle of the muskoxen, our peer circles offer a safe and supportive space for healing and connection.

As passionate mountain enthusiasts, we recognize that while these landscapes offer adventure and joy, they can also be sites of profound trauma. Mountain accidents, such as avalanches and falls, impact hundreds of people annually in Canada, with lasting emotional and psychological effects. Research shows that nearly one in four individuals involved in wilderness incidents experience PTSD symptoms, and without support, trauma can lead to long-term mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and isolation.

Speakers: 

Lexie Morgan: A Registered Clinical Counsellor with a background in grief, suicide prevention, and critical incident stress management. Lexie has worked in backcountry lodges across BC, where she saw firsthand the impact of trauma on mountain communities. She is passionate about supporting people in their healing journey, offering care for those navigating life after unexpected events in the mountains.

Kirsten Boyle: Community Engagement and Fundraising Coordinator for Mountain Muskox. A writer and survivor of a serious climbing accident, Kirsten is dedicated to raising funds and awareness to extend Mountain Muskox’s reach. She believes in the power of community for healing and is writing a memoir about her experience of overcoming trauma, fear, and grief.
