On World Mental Health Day, we recognize this year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.” It highlights the importance of listening to lived experiences and ensuring different voices have a role in shaping mental health care.

For our Black, African and Caribbean (BAC) communities we serve, that means recognizing cultural experiences, addressing barriers to care and creating safe, culturally-responsive spaces for healing and support.

Through our community-based programs and services, we continue to support mental health and well-being by connecting individuals and families to resources, meaningful conversations and community-centred care.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, our organization pauses to honor the survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and their families and communities who continue to hold the weight of intergenerational trauma. Everyday we live, work, and organize on the treaty lands and traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, alongside the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Huron Wendat peoples.

​Join us in community as we host an Indigenous cultural gathering focused on traditions through music, dance, and storytelling.

Location: Salvation Army, Brampton, ON
Date: Thursday, October 15
Time: 5 PM to 7 PM
Registration: go.rootscs.org/culturaldance

• Learning about traditional regalia and its cultural significance
• Exploring the meaning and significance of drums and songs
• Learning about the role of dance in ceremonies, celebrations, and community life
• Experiencing live cultural dance demonstrations
• Connecting through an interactive celebration of resilience, identity, and community
