🌱 November is Early Childhood Mental Health Awareness Month! 🌱
Early childhood mental health reflects the healthy social, emotional, spiritual, and behavioral development of children from birth to age eight. Native culture teaches us that children come into the world with gifts, purpose, and connection to their ancestors. Their ability to form secure relationships, express emotions, and explore their environment is shaped not only by biology and genetics, but also by the love, teachings, and cultural experiences surrounding them. When little ones grow within nurturing, culturally grounded environments, they build strong roots that support well-being across their lifespan.

Kind Heart Behavioral Health had the honor of participating in the Doane Dialogue Series today, joining an inspiring conversation on Mental Health from an Indigenous Perspective🤍🩷💜!

Our CEO, Keli Warrior, a proud Doane University alumna🐅👩🏽‍🎓 , was deeply grateful to participate via zoom to share Indigenous perspectives on healing, resilience, and community wellness. Together with other panelists, we explored how historical and intergenerational trauma, traditional healing practices, and culturally responsive care shape mental well-being across generations🧡!

It was a powerful reminder that healing happens when stories, cultures, and communities come together. Thank you, Suzanne Mealer for creating space for dialogue and understanding✨!

If you or your organization would like to host meaningful conversations around culturally responsive mental health, community wellness, or Indigenous healing, reach out to Kind Heart Behavioral Health this is the work we are honored to do🤍🩷💜🫶🏽!

Healing starts when we feel understood. 🌿 At Morningstar Counseling, we know that every person carries a story, and that healing happens when care honors who we are, where we come from, and what we’ve been through.

Our new psychoeducation flyer, “What Is Trauma-Informed Care—and Why It Matters,” was created to help our Relatives understand what trauma-informed care means and how it can support healing, safety, and balance in our lives and communities.

It’s about being seen, not judged, and finding care that walks beside you with compassion and respect.

👉 Check out the flyer below and help educate and inform our Relatives by liking and sharing this post with your community.

🌿 Healthy Communication Builds Stronger Connections 🌿

Healthy communication helps us listen with the heart, speak with respect, and bring balance to our relationships. Our new psychoeducation flyer shares practical, culturally grounded tips to strengthen trust, understanding, and harmony within our families and communities.

Learn how to redirect unhealthy communication, express yourself with kindness, and draw strength from traditional practices like talking circles, prayer, time on the land, and guidance from Elders.

By communicating in ways that honor our teachings, we create space for healing, connection, and unity. 💛

In recognition of Indigenous Peoples' Day on Monday, October 14, 2025, Morningstar Counseling will be closed for the day. Our offices will reopen with regular hours on Tuesday, October 15, 2025, at 8:00 AM.

Indigenous Peoples' Day provides an important opportunity for education and reflection on the rich histories and contributions of Native American and Indigenous communities. It also invites acknowledgment of the historical trauma resulting from centuries of colonization, forced relocations, and cultural suppression. This intergenerational trauma has lasting impacts, including elevated rates of mental health conditions, unresolved grief transmitted across generations, disruptions to traditional practices and cultural identity, and persistent challenges related to discrimination and health disparities.

At the same time, Indigenous communities demonstrate remarkable resilience through the reclamation of traditional healing modalities, language revitalization, and strengthened cultural ties. These efforts serve as essential foundations for holistic well-being and recovery.

We encourage our Relatives and community to engage in meaningful reflection today: Consider the historical contexts that have influenced Indigenous experiences, appreciate the enduring strength of Native cultures, and advocate for Indigenous-led initiatives in healing and cultural preservation.

Morningstar Counseling remains dedicated to delivering culturally responsive mental health services. Our approach integrates evidence-based therapies with traditional practices to support comprehensive care.

💙 Depression is not a weakness, it is a health condition that can be treated. Many of our Relatives experience depression, but healing is possible.

Support can come from both traditional ways and modern care: talking with Relatives and Elders, prayer and ceremony, counseling, medicine, and time in nature. By caring for our mental health, we honor the balance of mind, body, spirit, and community. 🌿

Check out the flyer below to learn more about depression, signs to look for, and ways to get help.
