As Chief Purpose Officer at Accelerating Social Good, Kerry specializes in collaborating with mental health and suicide prevention nonprofits, social enterprises and CSR initiatives to extend their reach and wrap, enabling them to have a greater impact on those they serve so those who need mental health care get it.
