Recent events in the news, including acts of violence and harm that have deeply affected our communities, have been heavy and difficult to hold. Ongoing exposure to distressing stories and images can take a real toll on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, even when we are not directly involved.

For many Indigenous and BIPOC Relatives, these moments can stir fear, grief, anger, or exhaustion and may connect to personal or intergenerational experiences of trauma. If you are feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, or emotionally drained, please know that these responses are understandable and valid.

We encourage everyone to be gentle with themselves during this time and to prioritize mental health. This may look like setting boundaries with news and social media, grounding in the present moment, leaning on trusted relationships, engaging in cultural or community healing practices, or reaching out for trauma-informed support.

We are sharing this psychoeducation flyer (in English and Spanish) to offer information, coping strategies, and resources related to political trauma. Caring for your mental health is an important part of caring for one another.

Over the next month, we will send weekly reminders for wellbeing with interventions and exercises to help you emotionally regulate and get through the political trauma we are collectively experiencing.

Please share widely and take care of yourself and our community.

🌿 Strong families are the heart of our communities. 🌿

As we welcome the New Year, it’s the perfect time to commit to improving our mental wellness by nurturing connection, communication, and healing within our families. We’re excited to share a new flyer on Building Healthy Family Dynamics, created with our Relatives and communities in mind. This resource highlights how our teachings, traditions, and everyday practices can strengthen communication, support one another through conflict, and foster resilience across generations.

Start the New Year with intention and connection, let’s strengthen our families, honor our teachings, and support one another on the path to wellness.

MCC turned this cold, dreary day into a cozy one with a build-your-own hot cocoa bar for our employees and our relatives.

Nothing lifts the spirits like warm cocoa, sweet toppings, and time together. A little chocolate really does make everything better.

💜 Let’s talk about Emotion Regulation! 💜
Emotion regulation is our ability to understand, work with, and respond to our emotions in healthy, balanced ways. In many Native communities, emotions are seen as teachings, messages that guide us, connect us, and support our wellbeing.

Learning how to pause, breathe, and respond with intention strengthens our relationships, reduces stress, and helps us move through challenges with balance. These skills matter for Relatives of all ages, from our littlest ones to our Elders.

Culturally grounded practices, like time on the land, storytelling, beading, smudging, ceremony, and connecting with language, help us regulate emotions and return to our center.

🌱 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🤍🩷💜🫶🏽!
