This resource is from the National Indian Health Board (NIHB), which is committed to advocating for the health and well-being of Indigenous communities. One of their key initiatives focuses on addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which are traumatic events occurring during childhood. Research indicates that Indigenous children experience higher ACEs and collective trauma, which needs to be addressed through Indigenous frameworks. Indigenous frameworks offer a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of spiritual connection for healing the heart, body, mind, and spirit.
