Rx for Resilience: Ahéhee’ 


Ahéhee’ means thank you or gratitude in the Navajo language.

As we continue to celebrate National Native American History Month and enter into the season of Thanksgiving, we invite you all to reflect on what you are grateful for in your life. The feelings surrounding Thanksgiving can be mixed, especially for those who find this time to be a reminder of violence and loss from the past. With the holidays, a sense of stress or isolation can sneak into our lives as well. However, one thing remains true in the fruits of this season - gratitude.

In the busyness of the holiday season it can be easy to forgot to slow down and enjoy these moments with your friends and family. Today, take a moment to think of the things that fill you up and bring you joy in your life. Write down a list of things that you are grateful for. Share your thanks with those you care about. Reflect on the positive and fruitful things happening in your life.

We are grateful for all of you and the incredible work you continue to pursue with us. Thank you and ahéhee’ to you all.
