😟💨 Ever felt like your heart is racing, you can’t catch your breath, or your thoughts are spinning out of control? You may be experiencing anxiety or a panic attack, and you’re not alone.
In many of our Native communities, wellness means balance of mind, body, and spirit. When that balance is disrupted, anxiety can show up in powerful ways.

Morningstar Counseling has created a culturally grounded flyer to help you understand:
🌿 What anxiety and panic attacks are
🧠 Common signs and symptoms
🤝 Culturally rooted tips to calm your body and reconnect with the present
💬 “Anxiety is not a weakness, it’s a signal.”
📄 View and share the flyer below

This resource is for anyone who’s felt overwhelmed, or who wants to support a loved one through it. Healing happens together, and balance can be restored.

🪶 Talking to Our Children About Grief 🧡

Grief is something we all experience, and our children need support in their healing just as much as we do. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, or changes in their world, our young ones may not always have the words to express what they feel.

We’ve created a short flyer with gentle guidance for Relatives, caregivers, and community members on how to talk to children about grief in a trauma-informed and culturally grounded way. 💬

Learn:
🌿 What grief can look like in children
🧡 Ways to support their emotions
🔥 How to incorporate cultural practices in healing

Let’s help our young Relatives carry their loss with strength, connection, and love. Download and share with others in your circle. 🧺

🌈 June is Pride Month — a time to honor love, identity, and the sacredness of being exactly who we are.

In many Native cultures, our LGBTQIA+ and Two-Spirit Relatives have always held a vital place in the circle — as healers, teachers, artists, and knowledge keepers. Their presence is not new — it is ancestral. It is powerful.

But today, many of our people still face barriers to mental wellness, from stigma to isolation.

At Morningstar Counseling, we believe that every identity deserves to be honored and supported, especially during times of struggle. To learn more about affirming LGBTQIA+ identities and building resilience, check out the flyer below.

🧠 Whether you're walking this journey yourself or supporting a loved one, this resource can help you understand the emotional and spiritual needs of our LGBTQIA+ community.

📄 Like and share this post to help us spread the word: Pride is more than a celebration — it’s a call to care for one another with compassion, respect, and truth. When we stand together, we heal together. 💜
