The Palomar Foundation is a nationwide organization of professionals and volunteers dedicated towards removing the barriers between addiction treatment and those who need it. We are working to support education programs for families and communities, empowering them to make the right treatment decisions for the people close to them. Imagine being ill, but when you ask for help, you're told to "suck it up" or "just get better". This is the stigma that those with addiction or other mental health problems have experienced. This is not acceptable. Removing the stigma takes more than just words – it requires a community, and we're building that community by educating families, communities, and government about addiction and the treatments for it. The Palomar Foundation is a 501(c)3 corporation. Our funding is derived from personal resources and public donations.
