💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10
Today is an opportunity to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and recognize the importance of mental health and wellness for everyone.
Most importantly, let’s recognize lived experience as expertise. People directly impacted by mental health conditions shouldn't simply be asked to share their stories. Their voices and experiences should help shape decisions, services, and systems of care.
🌿 Listen. Include. Empower. Act.
Together, we can build more person-centered, compassionate, and responsive communities where people feel supported and valued.

💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Among American Indian and Alaska Native women, approximately 55-56% experience intimate partner physical or sexual violence, nearly 50% experience stalking, and more than 63-66% experience psychological aggression.
While these statistics are alarming, they are not the end of the story.
Through a Recovery-Oriented System of Care (ROSC) and Native healing traditions that honor balance among mind, body, spirit, community, and environment, survivors can find pathways to healing, resilience, and hope.
This month, we honor survivors, support recovery, and promote communities where healing can thrive.
