Project Relate is
a public service campaign that strives to break down the stigma
and stereotypes associated with mental illness
and help the public relate to those who cope with these issues.
The project is a joint effort between mental
health service providers, advocacy groups such as The Kim Foundation
(see column to the right) and non-profit organizations across
Nebraska – a rare and important partnership.
Mental Health Resources
In addition to speaking out against stigma and providing information
about mental illness to the community, Project Relate also aims to
provide a clearinghouse of mental health resources across the state
of Nebraska. This way, people who suffer from mental illness and their
loved ones can easily find the mental health services they need.
This project was only made possible through
the dedication of time, energy, expertise and resources from
a variety of health care, social service, non-profit, and other
organizations.

The Kim Foundation was
established by the founders of C&A
Industries, the parent company of Celebrity Staffing, because of their
personal commitment to help build a better community. The Kim
Foundation’s
main mission is to provide support to charitable organizations, with
a special emphasis on those organizations that assist individuals with
mental health difficulties. We recognize the power teamwork can have
in the fight against mental illness.
Advocacy and Support
In addition to providing critical financial support to programs serving
local mental health needs, The Kim Foundation advocates for those suffering
from mental illness, their caregivers, and their families. We work
to encourage legislation that will free up desperately needed resources,
and allocate those resources to programs that meet client needs directly,
in the local community.
Bringing Our Community Together
The Kim Foundation also serves as a link between the many individuals
that must combine forces to improve the lives of those suffering from
mental illness – family caregivers, mental health service providers,
legislators, and concerned members of the community. We also focus
on raising mental health awareness in our community through public
education and encouraging volunteerism.

Our Community Education Program provides specialized seminars for members
of community groups, church congregations, and other civic organizations
who are unemployed or underemployed. We have also developed seminars
for at-risk high school seniors to help them transition into the job

participants with the means to evaluate their current employment situation
and help them identify and develop job-seeking skills.
