10/13/2025
On Indigenous Peoples' Day, October 13, 2025, we honor the cultures, traditions, vital contributions, and invaluable knowledge of Indigenous peoples, and we acknowledge the Indigenous heritage of this land.
This is also an important day to remember that Native American & Indigenous communities experience significantly higher rates of psychological distress, substance use disorders, and su***de compared to the general U.S. population. We must continue to work to break the stigma around mental health in Indigenous communities and support treatment approaches that are holistic, community-based, and rooted in cultural continuity.
