Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay IPHCC stands in solidarity with all those who are affected by mental health issues worldwide. IPHCC remains committed to providing ongoing culturally safe and Indigenous-specific care to support the mental health and wellbeing of Indigenous Peoples
Today, we honour the National Day of Action for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Two-Spirit Peoples (MMIWG2S). We remember the lives lost, those still missing, & the families impacted.

Big news: The HPV vaccine is working. (And in many countries, it’s on its way to eliminate cervical cancer.)
A study in JAMA Pediatrics with 2,300 women found that over 17 years, HPV infections dropped by 98% in vaccinated women (& 76% in the unvaccinated due to herd immunity).

Harvard University has:
- 0 Native faculty in 9 schools
- 0 Native Deans
- 1/10th of 1% of tenured faculty are Native
- 7/10ths of 1% of Harvard Med’s tenured faculty are Native
Under the new leadership of President Gay, I am hopeful the University will do much better here.
