Last week, MCC had the privilege of sending several of our providers to the National Multicultural Conference & Summit (NMCS) 2026 in Seattle, WA, and we are still carrying the impact with us. 💛✨
At MCC, we love to support our providers in both their professional and personal growth, and this experience was a powerful reflection of that commitment.

One quote that deeply resonated came from Indigenous activist Lilla Watson:

“If you have come to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

Recent events in the news, including acts of violence and harm that have deeply affected our communities, have been heavy and difficult to hold. Ongoing exposure to distressing stories and images can take a real toll on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, even when we are not directly involved.

For many Indigenous and BIPOC Relatives, these moments can stir fear, grief, anger, or exhaustion and may connect to personal or intergenerational experiences of trauma. If you are feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, or emotionally drained, please know that these responses are understandable and valid.

We encourage everyone to be gentle with themselves during this time and to prioritize mental health. This may look like setting boundaries with news and social media, grounding in the present moment, leaning on trusted relationships, engaging in cultural or community healing practices, or reaching out for trauma-informed support.

We are sharing this psychoeducation flyer (in English and Spanish) to offer information, coping strategies, and resources related to political trauma. Caring for your mental health is an important part of caring for one another.

Over the next month, we will send weekly reminders for wellbeing with interventions and exercises to help you emotionally regulate and get through the political trauma we are collectively experiencing.

Please share widely and take care of yourself and our community.

🌿 Strong families are the heart of our communities. 🌿

As we welcome the New Year, it’s the perfect time to commit to improving our mental wellness by nurturing connection, communication, and healing within our families. We’re excited to share a new flyer on Building Healthy Family Dynamics, created with our Relatives and communities in mind. This resource highlights how our teachings, traditions, and everyday practices can strengthen communication, support one another through conflict, and foster resilience across generations.

Start the New Year with intention and connection, let’s strengthen our families, honor our teachings, and support one another on the path to wellness.

The holidays can be joyful, but also stressful! Take a moment to pause, breathe, and be present. 🧘‍♀️

Our new flyer 📄 shows simple ways to practice mindfulness, reduce stress, and stay grounded, even during busy days. Small mindful moments, like a deep breath, a mindful walk, or checking-in with yourself and how your body is responding to your emotions, can make a big difference in your well-being.

Download and share the flyer to bring calm and presence this season! 📥✨

MCC turned this cold, dreary day into a cozy one with a build-your-own hot cocoa bar for our employees and our relatives.

Nothing lifts the spirits like warm cocoa, sweet toppings, and time together. A little chocolate really does make everything better.
