CICMH Observes National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
On September 30th, CICMH stands in solidarity with Indigenous communities to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day honours the strength and resilience of residential school survivors, their families, and their communities.
Action, Not Just Words
It is not enough to acknowledge these harms. We must act. The calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) make clear the path forward: the health care system, including mental health services, must listen to and support Indigenous communities. This means centering Indigenous knowledge, amplifying Indigenous voices, and investing in Indigenous-led solutions.
CICMH is committed to providing mental health resources that are reflective and responsive to the needs of Indigenous students and staff on campus.
