About Us
MIKID is the largest family-run behavioral health organization in Arizona, with a strong presence across eight locations in the state and an expansion into Colorado in January 2022. Our values include family-centered care, empowerment, resilience, and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need. We keep the kiddos in mind while helping the family, ensuring that our approach benefits both children and their families.
MIKID serves children and youth experiencing mental health challenges, along with their families. Over 80% of our staff and 51% of our Board of Directors have lived experience as family members, parents, or young adults with behavioral health issues. This unique perspective allows us to provide empathetic and effective support. Our programs focus on prevention, navigation, and reunification, helping families strengthen their bonds and navigate available resources. We are proud members of several organizations, including the State Chapter of the Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health, NAMI Arizona, and the Arizona Council of Human Service Providers.
