In Loving Memory
| On June 17, 2022, we lost an exceptional colleague and friend, Zachary Karenchak. He was an advocate, a voice, and a champion for youth and young adults who have experience in the mental health system. Zack, you taught many people worldwide what it means to be a good human being. Your humor allowed laughter when it was needed most. Your acceptance and grace have given people the space to feel loved. Your advocacy has given a voice to the voiceless and a microphone to those who want to be louder. Your smile was kind, and your heart was golden. The work you dedicated your life to continues on with you, for you, and because of you. The system change you spearheaded will live in your honor forever. Our friend, we will miss you. |
