10/10/2026

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, foster understanding and advocate for mental wellness for all. For many Indigenous Peoples, mental health experiences are shaped by the ongoing impacts of colonization, residential schools, intergenerational trauma, systemic racism and barriers to accessing culturally safe care.

These inequities contribute to significant mental health disparities, yet they do not define Indigenous communities. Strength, resilience, culture, language, community connection and traditional ways of knowing continue to play a vital role in supporting wellness and healing.

Meaningful action includes listening to Indigenous voices, supporting culturally safe and trauma-informed services, addressing systemic barriers, and recognizing the importance of Indigenous-led approaches to mental health and wellbeing.

On World Mental Health Day, we encourage everyone to learn, reflect and help create spaces where Indigenous Peoples can access the support, respect and care they deserve.

Mental health is health. Wellness is strengthened through culture, connection, community and belonging.

INDIGENOUS HEALTHCARE POLICY AND PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

Start Date: November 10, 2026

In the Indigenous Healthcare Policy and Procedure Development Program, learners will develop policies and procedures rooted in strengths-based, trauma-informed and culturally relevant approaches that support both care teams and communities. This program guides participants through developing and implementing healthcare policies and procedures within Indigenous communities and organizations, using the policy and procedure life cycle as a practical framework.

This professional development program is designed to support healthcare and social service organizations in accreditation preparedness; however, the content is equally valuable for learners from accredited organizations, those preparing for accreditation and organizations that are not currently accredited. Delivered over four, 2-hour sessions, learners actively draft and refine their own policies and procedures, supported by interactive tools that encourage collaboration, reflection, and real-world application.

The Indigenous Healthcare Policy and Procedure Program is fully accredited by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA).

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

Upon program completion, learners will have gained knowledge related to...

🌸 Navigating the policy and procedure life cycle, from identifying a need to retirement.

🌸 Drafting, implementing and monitoring a policy or procedure for an identified need.

🌸 Understand the factors that are crucial components of an effective policy and procedure and describe how these factors affect the process of writing your policy and procedure.

🌸 Strengths-based, trauma-informed and culturally relevant approaches while developing and implementing policies and procedures.

🌸 The importance of regularly reviewing and updating policies and procedures to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.

This virtual program is delivered in four weekly sessions. Each session is 2-hours long.⁠

On this important day, we honour the lives that have been taken and stand with the families and communities, and reaffirm our collective responsibility to take action.

Sisters in Spirit Day is also known as the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+). The ongoing crisis of MMIWG2S+ is rooted in the lasting impacts of colonialism, racism and systemic inequities. Meaningful reconciliation requires far more than awareness. It requires listening, learning, advocacy and a commitment to creating safer communities for Indigenous Peoples where they are protected, valued and supported.

Last week we hosted a powerful webinar, 'No More Stolen,' with Vanessa Brousseau. Through personal insights, education and reflection, Vanessa helped deepen understanding of the realities surrounding Missing and Murdered Indigenous People in Canada while highlighting the importance of collective action and allyship.

The recording of this webinar is available on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bojtJR7u9Zo

As we mark Sisters in Spirit Day, we encourage you to continue learning, reflecting, and taking meaningful action.

NO MORE STOLEN sisters, daughters, mothers, cousins, aunties or friends. ❤️

Treaty Day marks an important opportunity to annually recognize and honour the enduring relationship between the Mi'kmaq and the Crown through the Peace and Friendship Treaties.

The Mi'kmaq are the original Peoples of Mi'kma'ki, their ancestral homeland, which includes present-day Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, parts of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and the Gaspé Peninsula. For thousands of years, Mi'kmaq communities have stewarded these lands and waters while sustaining vibrant cultures, languages, governance systems and traditions.

Understanding the history and intent of the treaties is an important step toward reconciliation. By learning about Mi'kmaq history, treaty rights and nation-to-nation relationships, we can help foster greater understanding, respect and meaningful action.

In honour of National Seniors Day, we want to recognize and celebrate Indigenous Elders whose wisdom, teachings and leadership have guided us for generations.

Elders hold knowledge - they are storytellers, language keepers, caregivers and community leaders. Through their resilience, teachings and deep connection to the culture and land, they help preserve and strengthen Indigenous identities, traditions and ways of knowing. The guidance that our Elders provide continues to inspire healing, learning, belonging and connection across communities.

We extend our gratitude to Indigenous Elders for sharing their knowledge, nurturing future generations and helping carry culture, language and traditions forward. Today and every day, we honour your contributions, strength and enduring legacy!

Reconciliation begins with truth.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors, families, and communities affected by residential schools, and recognize the responsibility we all share in learning from our history.

We recently asked members of the SE Health team, ‘What does Reconciliation mean to you?’ Here’s what some of them had to say:

🧡 “Listening. Support. Allyship.”

🧡 “Open and honest reflections of Canadian history.”

🧡 “Acknowledging the past and the impact it continues to have.”

🧡 “Remembering. Caring. Learning.”

🧡 “94 Calls to Action.”

🧡 “Making past wrongs better.”

As we reflect on our shared history, let us commit to listening, learning, and taking meaningful action to advance reconciliation in our workplaces, communities, and everyday lives.

Take time to deepen your understanding by exploring Indigenous-led resources, reading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, listening to Survivor stories, and engaging with educational opportunities that strengthen cultural awareness and humility.

Reconciliation is not a destination, but an ongoing responsibility we all share.

Because EVERY CHILD MATTERS. 🧡

SKIN AND WOUND CARE FOR NURSES PROGRAM - NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

Start Date: October 29, 2026

The Skin and Wound Care for Nurses Program builds practical knowledge and clinical reasoning for evidence-informed, person-centered wound care for Indigenous communities. Learners will explore acute and chronic wounds, wound healing, wound bed preparation, vascular wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers and prevention strategies.

This professional development series uses a wholistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed and culturally safe approach. Learners will consider the person, their wound and the context in which healing occurs, while building skills in assessment, prevention, treatment and evaluation across diverse care settings.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

🌿 Apply foundational knowledge of skin anatomy, wound healing, and tissue repair processes to support evidence-informed wound care practice.

🌿 Conduct comprehensive, person-centered wound assessments to identify barriers to healing, measure wound progress, and guide appropriate interventions.

🌿 Recognize the impacts of colonization, health inequities, culture, and lived experiences on health outcomes and incorporate these considerations into wound care planning.

🌿 Use evidence-based approaches, including the TIME framework, harm reduction principles, and prevention strategies, to promote healing and reduce complications.

🌿 Differentiate between common wound types, including arterial, venous, pressure, and diabetic foot wounds, and identify interventions that support optimal outcomes.

🌿 Develop individualized goals of care that reflect a person's priorities, strengths, healing potential, comfort, and quality of life.

🌿 Apply strategies to support circulation, mobility, edema management, pressure redistribution, offloading, nutrition, and wound recurrence prevention.

🌿 Evaluate wound healing outcomes and adapt care plans using a wholistic, strength-based approach.

This virtual program is delivered in six weekly sessions. Each session is 2-hours long.⁠

SPEAKER BIO:⁠
Vanessa Brousseau is a proud urban Inuk woman and a family member of a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person (MMIP). As a survivor of abuse, neglect, racism, and poverty, she speaks from lived experience — realities that continue to impact Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island.⁠
⁠
In May 2021, Vanessa began reclaiming her healing through traditional art, creating red dress awareness pieces using beads and sealskin. What began as a deeply personal act of decolonization has grown into a powerful movement that sparks conversation, educates communities, and honours the lives of those taken too soon.⁠
⁠
Today, Vanessa offers both virtual and in-person presentations on Indigenous identity, MMIP awareness, intergenerational trauma, allyship, and red dress sealskin workshops. With over 25 years of experience facilitating impactful workshops, she brings a voice that is both fierce and compassionate — grounded in truth, resilience, and a deep commitment to justice. ⁠
