The California Rural Indian Health Board would like to invite you to join an upcoming webinar series titled Wellness Without Shame: Indigenous Frameworks of Care on Thursday, April 30th, 2026, from 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM. The presentation offers a space to reflect on how shame has been shaped through systems, history, and lived experiences. We will explore ways to provide culturally rooted care through relational support.
