Brent’s journey in "Life on Victor Street" video (Hammond, 2012) reveals the need for multi-level social work to address trauma, cultural identity, and systemic barriers for Indigenous youth. From overcoming fears after witnessing violence to balancing academics and family pressures, Brent’s story highlights the role of trauma-informed support, family counseling, and safe community programs. However, real change requires broader advocacy: safer neighborhoods, better educational access, and culturally responsive policies to empower youth like Brent. Social work has the power to foster resilience and drive systemic transformation. Let's make communities stronger, together.
