Huge gratitude to Dr. Alan Fruzzetti and to every Sashbear volunteer who shows up to make a difference. The ripple effect starts here. 🧡

From coast to coast, our volunteers travelled to strengthen their skills, deepen their understanding, and bring back tools that empower families navigating emotion dysregulation and mental health challenges.

Through Jeannie’s story, we are reminded of the devastating legacy of Residential Schools — and the resilience of Survivors and their families.

“When she returned home after her first year of school, she couldn’t understand what her own mother was saying.”

Taken from her home at just 7 years old, Jeannie was separated from her mother, her siblings, her language, and her culture. Her story reveals not only the trauma of those years but also the deep love between a mother and daughter — and the lasting impacts of being torn away.

In this powerful article, Sashbear Director of Indigenous Relations, Terry Crosby, shares the story of his mother, Jeannie Mianscum (Crosby) — a Cree woman from Mistissini, Quebec — and her experiences in Canada’s Residential School system.
