Making a difference, one blanket at a time! 🧵✨ A group from Kerr's Inclusive Day Services spent time volunteering at Project Lemonade, helping with blanket quality control and assembly. It was a great opportunity to support the work that Project Lemonade does in our community.

Today is World Mental Health Day, an opportunity to talk more openly about mental health and how we support one another.

At Kerr, we see how much it means for young people and their families to find care that understands the whole person.

By challenging stigma, we can help more people feel comfortable seeking support.

Sometimes that support is professional care. Sometimes it’s checking in and taking time to listen. Both matter. 💙

This year’s theme, “𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁,” recognizes the contributions of workers with disabilities and reminds us to address the barriers that limit access to employment.

At Kerr, we support people in building skills, exploring their interests, and pursuing their employment goals. For employers, expanding opportunities means recognizing that talent, making hiring accessible, and supporting employees in doing their best work.
