At KHDS, we proudly stand with our community in recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we are committed to breaking the stigma, expanding access to care, and supporting individuals and families on their journey to wellness. Every day, our team works to provide compassionate, community-based services that meet people where they are—because no one should have to face mental health challenges alone. This month, we reaffirm our dedication to promoting awareness, fostering understanding, and empowering those affected by mental health conditions. Let’s work together to create a more supportive, informed, and inclusive world. #MentalHealthAwareness #KHDSCares #EndTheStigma

🚨🚒 BIG hearts behind the helmets! We're so grateful for our friends at Kenosha Firefighters C.A.R.E. for their incredible donation to KHDS. As their selected charity partner for their annual golf outing -- we received $15,000 to benefit the work we do in the community. What is more special is that we have an incredible partnership with our firefighters. We often are at calls together when families are in crisis. We are stronger together. Today's gift demonstrated the power of collective partnership. Thank you! 🙌 #CommunityHeroes #FirefightersCare #GratitudeInAction
