MIHCan The birth of a child should be one of the happiest times in a family's life. But for too many families in India, the joy of welcoming a new baby is cut short.

Health Together is comprised of doctors, researchers and others from Canada, India and around the world working to improve maternal and infant well-being and reduce maternal and infant mortality in India With more than 3.5 million babies born prematurely each year, India has one of the world's highest maternal and infant mortality rates. UBC is committed to tackling the most dire health problems facing women and children around the world. Dr. Farah Shroff established MIH to do exactly that, by reducing infant deaths from preventable causes in Odisha, a state with one of India's highest rates of maternal and infant death. The MIH Can team includes collaborators from UBC and across Canada and India, with expertise in global maternal-infant health research, clinical care, and community development. MIH Can is working with communities to implement several evidence-based strategies for improving maternal and infant well-being. Together, over five years, these interventions will prevent the deaths of 5,232 children in Odisha and help thousands more children get a healthy start at life. UBC would be pleased to work with donors to define tailored opportunities for recognition.

Here We are on Stolen Land, Your Homeland. 🧡

On this day of Truth and Reconciliation, we at health together want to share this poem by Dr Farah Shroff as a thank you to the Indigenous peoples who have protected the land and water through pipelines, mines, fracking, and state force, and who continue to hold the light through generations of trauma and grief. We hope it serves as a reminder that reconciliation means action, not just words.

Some ways you can act today and moving forward:
- Familiarize yourself with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action
- Learn whose land you’re on.
- Attend local community gatherings, or virtual broadcasts like the National Commemorative Gathering
- Support Indigenous voices! Read Indigenous-created content, listen to survivors stories, and more.

Lesson 4: Empowerment

Yoga can create space for us to build confidence, recognize our strengths, and develop a stronger sense of agency.

Through movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness, yoga can remind us that we are capable of more than we may initially believe.

Lesson 3: Self regulation

Whether you’re a student or working professional, it can be hard to slow down. Shavasana, also known as the co**se pose, invites participants to let go and be still. While it may look like nothing, the practice of sitting still allows us to process deep thoughts and build mental strength!

This intentional stillness can remind us that self-regulation also means recognizing when we need to slow down and rest.

Lesson 2: Resilience
Did you know yoga could act as resistance training?

Resilience can be built through gradually meeting and adapting to challenges. Sustained poses can challenge the body while encouraging patience, focus, and adaptation. Helping to improve bone health in the future!
