Tomorrow is the beginning of Case Managers Week.
Case managers are vital for people with disabilities. They work for places like vocational Rehabilitation, Medicaid, and social security. Often, they are overworked and underpaid. Case managers do work that goes unseen. We see the results, but not the effort it takes to achieve the goal.
Thank you for your hard work. At KVTS, we wouldn't be able to do our work without you.

It's easy to push our mental health to the side. We can try to push through our issues. We can say we don't have time. Maybe we can't afford therapy, or we don't want to take medications. It's easy to think we should be able to get over it.
We don't treat mental health like the flu or shoulder injury. We see it as optional.
But one day, we burn out. One day, it's no longer optional.
For those of us with disabilities, life can be draining. Accessibility barriers, questions from strangers, and the routines we need to take care of ourselves are exhausting. That's why it's important to take care of our mental health sooner than later. Therapy and medication isn't an option for everyone. But it's the small things that count.
Talk to friends and family. Get some fresh air. Do something that brings you joy. Throughout the day, find the tiny things that make you smile, and pause to take note of them instead of rushing through the day. Cheer for yourself whenever you accomplish a task regardless of complexity.
At KVTS, we're here to support you. You are not alone.
