This week, the KYDS team joined the national conversation for R U OK? Day – with plenty of yellow on display! From cupcakes and chiffon cake to bright outfits and conversation starters, it was a simple but powerful reminder that asking “Are you OK?” – and really listening to the answer – can make a world of difference.
It was a fun and meaningful way for our staff to pause, connect, and celebrate the spirit of the day, while also reminding the young people we support that it’s always okay to reach out.
But at KYDS, we know that starting the conversation is just the beginning. For many young people, the most important part is what comes next. That’s why we’re here with free, ongoing counselling and mental health support, walking alongside young people and families for as long as they need us.
See a few highlights from our celebration!
A big thank you to The Green Bakery and Chloe’s Mama Kitchen for generously providing the delicious cakes and cupcakes that brightened our day.
Every day is a good day to ask, “Are you OK?”. And every day at KYDS, we’re here to support young people on their journey to better mental health.
