Kennedy Care Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
May is National Mental Health Month! Recognized since 1949, this year’s theme will highlight the fact that “You Are Not Alone.” Working together, we can use this time to focus on the healing value of connecting in safe ways and realizing a shared vision of a nation where anyone can receive appropriate support and quality of care to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
The last year has been challenging for all of us in many different ways, but you all have never wavered in your commitment to delivering our mission, which we cannot thank you for enough. Please view the links below for some mental wellness tips and activities to practice during this National Mental Health Month – and remember, please take mental breaks to take care of yourself as often as you need. #breakthestigma
