Honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Today, we recognize the resilience, wisdom, and strength of Indigenous communities and acknowledge the importance of mental health support that is culturally grounded and trauma-informed.
Generations of Indigenous peoples have faced systemic trauma, displacement, and erasure, yet their stories, healing practices, and cultural traditions continue to thrive. Supporting Indigenous mental health means honoring that history, uplifting Indigenous voices, and ensuring access to care that respects culture and identity. 💛
If you or someone you know is seeking Indigenous-centered mental health support, here are some helpful resources:
StrongHearts Native Helpline: 1-844-7NATIVE (1-844-762-8483): 24/7 confidential domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault support for Native communities.
