Self-Care in a Time of Truth and Healing:
Healing Our Spirit, Creating Safety Within

Friday, May 20, 2022
1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. CT

with Special Guest: Serene Thin Elk
Moderated by: Deidre Whiteman

Join NABS for a timely conversation about holding space for ourselves and each other in a time of truth and healing. With last week’s historic release of the Interior Department report and the first congressional hearing on HR 5444 (Truth and Healing Commission Bill), we recognize that uncomfortable emotions and body reactions may come up. For that reason, this Friday, May 20, at 1-2:30 pm CT, we have invited Serene Thin Elk (Ihanktonwan Nakota) MH, LAC, QMHP, who is the Chief Behavioral Health Officer at South Dakota Urban Indian Health, and will share methods of intergenerational healing and self-care.

Healing From Child Removal: Boarding Schools, Adoption, and Foster Care

Wednesday, April 13, 2022
2:00 PM EST/1:00 PM CST/12:00 PM MST/11:00 AM PST/10:00 AM AKST/9:00 AM HST

Moderator: Sandy White Hawk (Sicangu Lakota)

Featured speakers: Jim LaBelle Sr. (Inupiaq) and Dakota Hoska (Oglala Lakhota Nation)

Join us for a panel discussion on healing from the impacts of child removal. Native children have been targeted for removal from their families and Tribal nations for generations. The Indian boarding school policies were the first Indian child welfare policy in the United States. With the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) under attack in the court system, it's more important than ever that we educate about the long-standing legacy of the impacts of child removal from Native families.

Please join us for our first virtual healing event of the year! We're honored to hear from Dr. Rosalyn LaPier (Blackfeet/Métis), who will share methods of intergenerational healing through plant medicines, traditional ecological knowledge, and self-care. On a day that many celebrate love, we want everyone to remember how important it is to show love to yourself!
Recording coming soon!
