ONNECTING PEOPLE TO resources is central to The Kim Foundation’s mission of improving lives through mental health and suicide prevention. Through its work, The Kim Foundation serves to bridge the gaps in mental health services and further encourages innovation that will enhance programs, expand services, strengthen organizational systems, and most importantly, transform lives. We focus on increasing awareness and promoting continued education related to mental illness and suicide.

We work to assure individuals and families touched by mental illness and/or suicide that they are not alone in their journey to recovery.
