Recognizing that no individual is immune to mental illness, no community is left untouched, The Kim Foundation strives to build a united, comprehensive response to assist children, adults, and families in achieving health, healing, and recovery.

Working to ensure that no one in need of services is denied them, The Kim Foundation serves as a communication link between individuals, families, and organizations. The Kim Foundation moves to reduce the stigma often associated with seeking mental health care and promotes that with help comes hope.

The driving force of The Kim Foundation is a strong desire to address the needs identified by individuals and families touched by mental illness and make certain that their voices are heard. Community forums, public radio broadcast, and private speaking engagements are hosted by The Kim Foundation to alert public officials, policy makers, service providers, and other individuals and families touched by mental illness of the impact the disease has on lives and the possibilities of recovery. Scholarship funds awarded by The Kim Foundation allow consumers and professionals to attend national conferences, acquire new knowledge, and share such findings with others in the mental health community.

The Kim Foundation is sponsored by the Larry and Kathy Courtnage family and their associates at C&A Industries, Inc. as a way of giving back to the community and setting a corporate example of leadership towards change in the mental health field.
