MIKID receives grant to expand mental health support 

KINGMAN — In a powerful show of compassion and commitment to children’s mental health, Mentally Ill Kids in Distress (MIKID) has received a generous grant from the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation. The funding will expand mental health support and fund upgrades to MIKID’s children’s behavioral health facility in Kingman, ensuring more children and families in northwestern Arizona have access to safe spaces and life-changing care during their most vulnerable momen

“We are incredibly grateful for this generous grant,” said MIKID CEO Jeffrey Kazmierczak. “This support is a vital step forward in empowering M.I.K.I.D. in our mission of healing Arizona families and we can’t thank the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation enough for believing in our vision and partnering with us.”

For 38 years, MIKID has provided youth services, prevention and education, parent support and reunification to families in Phoenix, and in more than 100 small cities and towns Bullhead City and Kingman.  

The Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation is dedicated to enhancing daily opportunities and lifelong outcomes for the residents and communities of Arizona.

“This grant will allow us to improve our Kingman location to create a more welcoming, functional, and healing environment, adds Kazmierczak. “As we bring this vision to life, it will reflect the dignity and potential of every child who walks through our doors.”
