Today, we pause to recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day.

We honor the strength, resilience, traditions, and knowledge of Indigenous communities, whose contributions continue to enrich generations. Their stories, cultures and enduring connections to community remind us of the importance of belonging, understanding and respect.

At Child Guidance Center, we remain committed to creating welcoming spaces where every child and family feels seen, valued and supported. We express our gratitude for the lasting impact Indigenous peoples have made and continue to make in our communities and beyond.
