Kellin Foundation Closed Week of July 4th
Kellin Foundation closed July 3-7th for the 2023 July 4th holiday.
In our fast-paced world, it's crucial to prioritize self-care and mental well-being. The Kellin Foundation understands the significance of self-care not only for those they serve but also for our hardworking staff. With this commitment in mind, the Kellin Foundation will be temporarily closed from July 3rd to July 7th, providing our dedicated team with a well-deserved break.
While the Kellin Foundation is closed, it's important to know alternative resources available to individuals seeking immediate assistance. In case of a mental health crisis or emergency, please reach out to 911 for immediate professional help. Additionally, there are hotlines and crisis helplines that operate 24/7, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) in the United States, which can provide support, guidance, and resources during difficult times.
After the holiday break, the Kellin Foundation will reopen on July 10th, ready to resume our work in supporting mental health and providing assistance to those in need.

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.
