Kiwanis Club of Coeur d'Alene

The Kiwanis Club of Coeur d’Alene is proud to announce that the recipient of its 2026 $5,000 Large Grant Award is City on a Hill Behavioral Health Center.
City on a Hill Behavioral Health Center is a Christ-centered nonprofit dedicated to providing accessible, affordable, and biblically integrated mental health care. Serving youth and families throughout North Idaho, the organization offers professional, evidence-based services—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and family and marital counseling—while integrating spiritual support to care for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. In partnership with Real Life Ministries, the center continues to expand its impact in addressing critical mental health needs in the region.
Grant funds will be used to purchase a vital psychological assessment tool that will enable clinicians to provide comprehensive diagnostic testing for children suspected of having Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Specifically, the funding will support acquisition of the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA-2 CPT), a clinically validated instrument that provides objective measurement of attention, impulse control, and self-regulation in children and adolescents.
The addition of this evidence-based assessment system will address one of the clinic’s most pressing needs. Requests for psychological testing—particularly to assist with differential diagnosis among school-age children experiencing attention, behavioral, or learning challenges—have grown significantly. At the same time, there is a severe shortage of providers in our region with access to tools like the IVA-2 CPT, often resulting in long wait times or limited access to timely evaluations for families seeking help.
Until now, City on a Hill has not had access to this essential instrument. The Kiwanis grant will help close that gap—expanding local capacity, reducing delays in diagnosis, and ultimately enabling more timely, accurate care for children and their families.
