Featured This Month
June — Men’s Health Month
This observance encourages the men in our communities to prioritize their physical and mental well-being. Native men continue to face some of the highest rates of preventable illness in the country — including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer — disparities often shaped by barriers to culturally grounded care and systemic health inequities. Urban Indian Organizations play a vital role in providing affirming, community-centered services that support early detection, routine checkups, and long-term wellness. NCUIH encourages partners to share resources, promote preventive screenings, and foster open conversations that empower Native men to prioritize their health.
Resources
To support UIOs and partners in your outreach, we have included draft copy for your networks and a downloadable graphic. By raising awareness, encouraging prevention strategies, and promoting access to survivor-centered services, Urban Indian Organizations and communities can help build safer, healthier Native communities.
