Today, we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This is a time to slow down, acknowledge truth, and honor the wisdom, strength, and resilience of Indigenous communities of the past, present, and future.
As a therapist, I’m continually reminded that healing isn’t only personal; it’s collective. Indigenous teachings around community, connection to the earth, and storytelling have long reflected that truth.
Today also calls us to recognize the continued fight for justice, the preservation of culture, and the work of reconciliation that remains. May this be a moment not just of reflection and gratitude, but of recommitment to walk with awareness, respect, and care, and to amplify Indigenous voices in the ongoing journey toward healing and equity.
