CRM Trainings: Because Parenting is Tough
The social-emotional development of children is critical to all aspects of child development.
At the Kellin Foundation, we specialize in providing services in a trauma-informed framework that recognizes that when children and families are stressed, their development can be negatively impacted. We believe that the earlier we can assist children and families (and the people that work with children and families) to develop the skills that can help with emotion regulation and stress reduction, the better for all aspects of their development, including their readiness for school.
Community Resilience Model (CRM) is a proven intervention for individuals of all ages that can provide basic tools that assist not only the children themselves, but the caregivers who foster their growth.
Parenting can be tough. Our CRM trainings can help make it easier.
Kids age 3-5 and their parents/caregivers, please join us for a FREE workshop and learn skills to manage your stress and help your young children develop their own stress management and self-regulation skills as well.

Shea’s Chase 5K Run & Walk Destigmatizes Mental Health Challenges
Shea’s Chase, November 5, will help support the Kellin Foundation’s effort to provide free mental health services to the uninsured and underinsured.
The November 5 event will help support the Kellin Foundation’s effort to provide free mental health services to the uninsured and underinsured.
Shea’s Chase 5K Run and Walk will be held 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, November 5, at the Stacks at Revolution Mill. The race aims to destigmatize mental health challenges and suicide, support survivors, and promote exercise as a tool for both physical and mental wellness.
Founded in 2015, Shea’s Chase honors the memory of Shea McKenna, who died by suicide on June 8, 2014. Funds raised will support the nonprofit Kellin Foundation in its mission to provide free behavioral health care to those who need it most.
To participate, register online at sheaschase.com. The fee is $30 per runner or $15 for college students, children, and military members. The entry fee includes a racer bib, custom T-shirt, and beer and beverages at the after party. Sign up with a team to be eligible to win the largest and fastest team awards, which will be distributed at 2 p.m.
Since its inception, Shea’s Chase has raised more than $300,000 for Mental Health Greensboro (MHG). This is the first year it will support the Kellin Foundation, which merged with MHG this year.
“We are honored the McKenna family is continuing this wonderful tradition. The funds raised at this year’s run will help provide free counseling, peer support and other to community members who are struggling,” said Kellin Foundation’s Executive Director Kelly Graves. “Together, we can prevent, treat, and heal.”
Shea’s Chase is sponsored by Cone Mills Charitable Fund, Kontoor, Renewal by Andersen, and Finn Dentistry.
