Welcome!

For You Network, Inc. is a nonprofit that brings access &

awareness to resources in our community and works to minimize the impact of

trauma and prevent violence. This organization was born after surviving the horrific home invasion and fatal domestic violence attack that ended the life of my sister, Kymberlee

Larsen in 2018. In the months that followed, there were many resources suited

to my needs, but the stress and vulnerability of navigating them and seeking

help was overwhelming. Healing from that traumatic experience, sharing our

family story and inspiring others has since become a passion. 

For You Network, Inc. aspires to help pick up the pieces after tragedy and find a path forward.   Our hope was to create more awareness and access in our community of Family Oriented Resources for the Young, Old and Under-served. We believe compassionate connections are essential for healing to occur in a community. As the need for support rises in our society, so does the need to re-frame stigmas around receiving help. 

Hosted as a free family festival and our bigegst outreach event, KYMfest (or, the “KindYourMind” festival) brings our community in and human service resources together. This allows attendees an opportunity to network with active resources and seek help in recovering after trauma, violence, and other major life transitions. Additionally, we bring in live entertainment, merchandise

vendors, local artisans and delicious eats for this all-day festival experience. KYMfest is For You Network’s most influential program. 

A key feature to our festival is that attendees get to browse firsthand the community resources who are aligned to our mission. Some resources that have been represented at past KYMfests are David’s Hope Pregnancy Loss Ministry, Nampa Family Justice Center, Women’s and Children’s Alliance, and Idaho Youth Ranch, to name a few. We also bring in influential speakers on topics involving compassion and forgiveness, trauma-informed care, and boundaries as well as instructors who offer demo classes in fields ranging from art therapy, gun safety, to

self-defense to hula-hooping. 

For You Network hopes to produce KYMfest each year to bring together all the amazing work our community is doing to stay connected and heal together.

With our K-12 KindYourMind violence prevention presentations, we're teaching conflict-management and emotional regulation tools in public schools to stop the cycle of violence before it starts. Our donation-Based Support Groups offer Low-barrier emotional coaching to de-stigmatize mental health care and heal trauma. Led by trained peer facilitators, we aim to meet people where they are and focus on mindful skills to overcome and grow. 

And our newest addition, The Thrift Hub and Resource Center, will become the root supporting system. A model of sustainability, that will end our reliance on unpredictable donations and grants and allow us to contribute to violence prevention and trauma recovery year-round.

 By launching a retail thrift store, we'll build a self-funded safety net, where local shoppers fund the store, the store's retail revenue sustains our annual festival, support groups and youth programs and most importantly, we are no longer reliant on fluctuating public donations and fundraising efforts. 

Our trademark motto, KindYourMind, an adaptation of Kym’s name, is a movement promoting a mindset of kindness for ourselves and others over judgement, blame, and shame. KYMfest

provides direct opportunities to “kind your mind” and transform harm into healing.

Our approach is different than others because we reach people where they are in their journey. Healing is not one-size-fits-all. For You Network can assist in your unique process. We are here to help. We are here for you.
