Kellin Foundation

The Kellin Foundation is a nonprofit (501c3) organization that builds resilient children, families, and adults through behavioral health services, victim advocacy, and community outreach.   We provide personalized, evidence-based, and comprehensive community-based programming for people across the lifespan in four core areas:

• Victim Advocacy Services and Patient Navigation (Case Management)
• Clinical Assessment, Treatment (Therapeutic Counseling), and Peer Support
• Youth Leadership and Empowerment Programming
• Community Mobilization and Outreach (systems-level evolution and change)

Why we do this:

• Because behavioral health is strongly connected to adversity and trauma
• Because everyone deserves to live in a home and in a community that is safe and free of violence.
• Because individuals, families, and communities are resilient and can thrive despite adversity
• Because community organizations and systems play a key role in addressing adversity and building resiliency

At the Kellin Foundation, we believe that services and programming should be principle-driven.  As a Board, we have spent much time thinking about what principles are important to us so that we could develop our services and programming consistent with those principles.  

A core principle to us is authentic partnership. We believe in co-creating authentic partnerships that allow for people, professionals, and communities to work together to achieve their goals. This is the backbone of our motto of making a difference together!

Within these authentic partnerships, our services and programs are grounded in these guiding principles:

Safety: Assisting with physical and emotional safety and wellness

Restoration: Restoring hope and fostering the unique talents and gifts of each individual to be fully empowered

Healing: Overcoming difficulties and developing peaceful solutions

Wellness:  Helping individuals create a sense of balance and stability in their lives by integrating physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being
