Good morning Siksika, With confirmed COVID-19 cases, people are understandably frightened and concerned. Social Stigma causes shame to individuals and familie...s and can be hurtful and dangerous. It makes people targets for misplaced anger and hostility. It also creates hardships and divisions that hamper the response to the pandemic. Find out how to identify COVID-19 stigma and how to respond to it.

"Oki Siksika! This weekend’s #StayHomeSiksika contest is in collaboration with us - Siksika Mental Health Psychological Services! It looks as though we are in for a beautiful weekend ahead, which means a great opportunity to get outside (or stay inside, if you prefer :) and declutter! This weekend’s #StayHomeSiksika contest is all about what you and your household are doing to declutter spaces in your life: your yard, your house, to make more room for the good stuff. Post yo...ur photos below to show us what you and your household are doing to declutter this weekend, with the hashtag #StayHomeSiksika, and be entered to win one of two $100 gift cards to Walmart, to use for online ordering to purchase supplies to continue staying healthy at home. Did you know that when we declutter or organize our spaces, this can reduce feelings of overwhelm and anxiety? Not to mention, spending time outside can be an excellent way to boost your spirits, and overall mental health! Of course it’s important that we all continue physical distancing and refraining from non-essential travel, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at this time. Even when outside the home, please continue to take precautions, follow public health advice, and maintain physical distancing at all times. Starting TONIGHT until 8:00pm on Sunday, April 26, when you LIKE the Siksika Mental Health Psychological Services Facebook page, and share a photo of what your household is doing to declutter - AT HOME - you will be entered to win. Two photos will be randomly selected on Sunday, April 26 after 8:00pm to win a $100 Walmart gift card. This contest is open to all Siksika Nation members, both those who live in Siksika and beyond. So, share your photo in a comment below! #siksikacares #siksikastrong"
