      <image:caption>“Mother Earth connects us to our ancestors, so it is important to get out in the land. Feel the fresh air and spend time away from the Internet and social media. Listen to the birds and animals. Enjoy the quiet.  Feel your body move in physical activity connecting to the land. It can be hunting, fishing or harvesting. It can be feeling the soothing comfort from putting your arms around a tree. You can feel that the tree is a living being when you embrace a tree.  Spirit baths, or immersing yourself in cold water, can be a daily practice. Over time, your body will adjust.” - Grant Alphonse, Tsilhqot'in | Resolution Health Support Worker</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“The holidays can stir up many emotions including grief, loneliness, or painful memories. We also carry the strength of our ancestors, our communities, and the love that surrounds us. This season, remember:  You are not alone. Your loved ones walk beside you in spirit and in community. You carry medicine. Your breath, and your story are sacred.  You are strong. Every step you take is an act of survival and resistance.  You are loved. No matter where you are on your healing journey, you are worthy of care, rest and gentleness.  Taking care of yourself is an act of love for you, your family, and for those we honour who are no longer with us. Light a candle, smudge, go spend time down by the water, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, sing a song, or simply breathe deeply. These small acts are powerful.  May we walk into the season with courage, compassion, and connection. You are medicine.” - Chas Coutlee, Nlaka’pamux/Lower Nicola | Wellness Worker, Resolution Health Support Worker, Counsellor</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Welcoming the Light: Caring for Ourselves this Winter - The Balance Wheel - Create Your Self-care Bundle.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“The Balance Wheel (or Sacred Hoop) is how you create your own self-care bundle to comfort yourself through the high stress time of the holidays. The balance wheel is made of four parts:   Physical Self: How you eat, hydrate, sleep and reconnect to Mother Earth. Mental Self: How you engage your mind through reading, colouring and talking with someone you trust in a safe space. Emotional Self: How you breathe, ground yourself or have quiet time for the emotions that you hold in your heart and body.  Spiritual Self: How you take care of your spirit in ways that work for you through meditation and ceremony.  The holidays are anniversary dates; it’s a good practice to be proactive - know your triggers and expect your reaction - be it grief or loss. Create your own self-care bundle, be body aware, and to slow down without fighting the feelings that may come up for you.  Using both western and/or traditional medicine is ok if that works for you. Check-in with your support circle and create ways to comfort yourself through the Balance Wheel.” - Shirley David, Gitxsan/Witset First Nation | Resolution Health Support Worker</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Coming Full Circle: History and Impacts of Residential Schools Online Only | 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm This online workshop offers an honest and compassionate exploration of the history and lasting impacts of residential schools in Canada. Together, we will review why Indigenous children were forcibly taken into these institutions, uncover what truly happened to survivors and to those who never made it home, and reflect on the profound intergenerational effects that continue to shape Indigenous communities today. Participants will also examine their own responsibilities in reconciliation, learning how to move forward with awareness, empathy, and meaningful action.</image:caption>

We explore how these experiences continue to affect survivors and their families across generations and highlight the movement toward intergenerational healing - centring on resiliency, reconnection to traditional practices, and the importance of restoring cultural values in order to reclaim the past, present, and future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Supporting the 34th Annual Women’s Memorial March - "I'd like to acknowledge the gratitude I feel for being asked to offer emotional and cultural support at the 34th Annual MMIWG2S+ Memorial March. It shows that the community knows that our team at IRSSS is safe, trauma informed, and culturally appropriate. Providing support that is culturally safe, meaningful, and accessible for this event is important because it responds to some of the Calls for Justice that MMIWG2S+ impacted communities recommended in their Final Report on the National Inquiry to Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, and I'm grateful to help implement some of those recommendations.”</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Supporting the 34th Annual Women’s Memorial March - “The content can be heavy, but whenever I hear feedback, people tell me that they feel lighter after being brushed. I bring cedar wherever I need to because these services aren’t offered by everyone else. Being at the Women’s Memorial March brings the medicine to so many people who would otherwise not have access. It was very well utilized, which is why I know the need was there.”</image:title>
