Kim is President / CEO of Kim LaMontagne, LLC, Corporate Mental Health Trainer, International Speaker, and Author.  She is also the Wellbeing Director for HR Florida State Council, and State Trainer for the NH Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). 

Kim was a top performing professional who suffered in silence with depression, anxiety, alcohol misuse, and intense suicidal thoughts.  She feared judgment, retribution, job loss, and damaging her professional integrity if she spoke openly and acknowledged that she needed help. 

As a result, she remained silent and almost lost her life.  A conversation with an observant leader was the turning point that changed and saved her life.

At 14 years sober and healthy, she shares her journey to teach leaders how to shift the culture and normalize the conversation about mental health in the workplace.

She has the unique ability to teach through the lens of the lived experience and the lens of the leader.

She has worked with clients in healthcare, education, legal, corporate, construction, HR, and non profit, and is a frequent Keynote Speaker.

Her mission is to share her lived experience to teach leaders how to create a safe culture where everyone is empowered to speak openly about mental health.
