On August 13, 2024 four Salamanca School District employees attended a three-day intensive training on grief and healing with the Mending Broken Hearts program. Not only did we learn traditional methods to help heal others, but we also had to work through our own unresolved grief. MBH provides culturally-based healing from grief, loss and intergenerational trauma, especially for native peoples.

Unresolved grief is demonstrated in the many social issues that Native people experience, as represented in the “sick” by the anger, guilt, shame, and fear, passed on from generation to generation. This creates a “culture” that is shame-based. The sense of shame and unresolved grief contributes to the behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual issues that challenge wellness.

We are open to working with a small groups comprised of students, friends/supports, or a family as a whole, who are interested in the healing process utilizing the Mending Broken Hearts curriculum. If you are interested in hearing more or would like to be a participant, please reach out to one of the following:

“I hope I’ll make it to Heaven when I die” can oftentimes be the thought for many of us. To think something like this is like standing at the door of an airplane 30,000 feet in the air and hoping our parachute will open. When it comes to our eternal destiny, we don’t want to hope so, we want to KNOW so. The Bible tells us we CAN know simply by repenting (turning away from our sinful ways) and placing our faith in Jesus Christ. He is the One Who gives the free gift of eternal life!

“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” I John 5:12-13
