We recognize that mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, and it's vital to address the distinct mental health needs of Urban Natives in a way that honors their cultural background.
As we build the infrastructure to support this initiative, our center will partner with experienced mental health professionals who have a deep understanding of Indigenous perspectives and healing traditions.These experts will provide culturally sensitive counseling, therapy, and support to individuals and families.
Coworking Space
We offer a three-monitor computer lab, five iPads with free Wi-Fi access, and printing facilities. Additionally, we have a dedicated lounge area for co-working and a functional kitchen that can be utilized by the community.
Talking Circles
Talking circles provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to gather and engage in open and respectful dialogue. These circles encourage active listening, empathy, and the sharing of personal experiences.
By incorporating talking circles into our center, we create a space where Urban Natives can freely express themselves, seek support, and find a sense of belonging within their community.
Beading Circles
Beading holds deep cultural significance for many Indigenous communities, and it serves as a form of artistic expression, storytelling, and healing. Beading circles provide a creative and therapeutic outlet for Urban Natives to engage in this traditional craft.
Through beading, participants can reconnect with their cultural heritage, express their creativity, and experience a sense of accomplishment. Beading also provides an opportunity for intergenerational sharing and the preservation of Indigenous artistry.
CALLING ON COMMUNITY
In honor of Giving Tuesday we are calling on community and allies to help support us in giving back to Urban Natives, through our programming and community center, and MMIP Taskforce work.
