COOKING OVER THE FIRE 🔥 As we come together to support the MKE - EVERY CHILD MATTERS WALK - The Untold Story of Milwaukee's Indian Boarding School, join GLIIHC team members for an event of community, food, and traditional cooking.
Medicine Fish from the Menominee Nation has generously donated buffalo meat, and we will be sharing late-season vegetables. Together, we will teach and learn how to prepare food over an open fire, a practice that was once a familiar part of everyday life.
Bring your interest, a guest, and a Feast Bundle so you can share in the meal when the cooking lessons are complete. There will be no sit-down meal. Instead, come to the fire, learn, cook, eat, and celebrate the harvest with community.
All are welcome, whether you're experienced with cooking over a fire or learning for the first time.

As we continue to acknowledge Suicide Prevention Month, we want to remind you that you don't have to be an expert to help someone in crisis; you just have to show up. If someone you love is struggling:
> Stay calm. Your steadiness helps them feel safe.
> Listen without judgment. Let them share without rushing to fix it.
> Validate their feelings. You don't need to agree; just acknowledge their pain is real.
> Ask directly. Asking “Are you thinking about suicide?” does not increase risk; it opens the door to help.
Connect them to support. Help them reach a trusted provider, or call/text 988 together.
To schedule an appointment with one of our Behavioral Health therapists, call 414-383-9526 ext. 4

Next Wednesday, September 30, join Circles of Strength for the next Women's Gathering. Participants will experience a calming sound bath to support rest, grounding, and emotional healing. Through soothing sounds and gentle vibrations, this experience can help ease stress, quiet the mind, release tension, and create a sense of safety and connection within the body.
This sound bath experience will be facilitated by Parisa Yoga Shala, a yoga, meditation, reiki, and sound healing guide who has a passion for curating trauma-informed healing modalities.
