Native American Heritage Month
Learning from Heritage: Building Inclusive Careers in Behavioral Health
November marks Native American Heritage Month — a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across the United States. First recognized nationally in 1990, this observance invites reflection, education, and celebration of Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities.
At Clarvida, we honor this month as a time to celebrate the rich wisdom embedded in cultural traditions — especially those that uplift resilience, storytelling, and community. These timeless values resonate deeply within behavioral health, where understanding diverse lived experiences fosters stronger, more meaningful relationships between care professionals and the people they support.
We believe that honoring heritage and learning from cultural traditions enriches the lives of those we serve — and inspires personal and professional growth among our employees.
The Power of Cultural Learning
Storytelling, communal support, and resilience are enduring pillars of Native American culture and heritage – traditions that continue to guide and inspire. These practices remind us that healing is not solely an individual journey — but one that often thrives in the context of collective strength and community.
We encourage employees to carry these lessons forward by valuing diverse perspectives in every aspect of care. Whether it’s adapting treatment approaches to respect cultural differences, or simply listening with empathy, our teams grow stronger by learning from heritage.
Building Cultural Competence in Behavioral Health Careers
At Clarvida, professional development goes beyond technical skills. We support our employees in building cultural competence — the ability to recognize, understand, and respect cultural differences in care.
This kind of growth strengthens trust with clients and makes behavioral health work more impactful and fulfilling. By weaving cultural understanding into everyday practice, our teams deliver care that feels inclusive, respectful, and meaningful.
Heritage Values in Everyday Work
The values reflected in Native American traditions — connection, care, and resilience — mirror the meaningful work Clarvida teams do every day. Whether helping families navigate challenges or empowering individuals to take the next step in their journey, our employees carry forward the spirit of connection and care.
