WORCESTER – Derrick Kiser, the former city gang leader who now leads a nonprofit aimed at addressing trauma in kids, is hosting a community cleanup and vaccination event Saturday at City Hall to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month.
“Mental health doesn’t have a geography, color or race,” Kiser, who has invited leaders from the community, legislature and police, said this week, stressing the importance, especially during the current times, of mental health awareness.
Kiser said the last year – from the global pandemic to widespread unrest regarding racial injustice – should be a reason to draw together and rally around the common experience of trauma.
