Bio

Kim Brown, MSW started her human services career in 1982 as a volunteer at a vocational program for adults with developmental disabilities.  She went on to work in group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities and/or mental illnesses, a nursing home for the elderly and people with severe physical disabilities, and a psychiatric hospital for children.  In 1990, Kim earned her Bachelor of Arts in Social Work degree.  She accepted employment with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services and spent the next 11 years as a public assistance caseworker, county assistance office supervisor, State public assistance policy supervisor and welfare reform project coordinator.  In 2001, Kim was hired as a children’s mental health case manager, behavioral consultant and community-based psychiatric rehabilitation aide for the Bitterroot Valley.  Part-time Linkages responsibilities were added to her position description in the fall of 2002.

To continue her journey of lifelong learning, Kim joined the University of Montana Rural Institute as a Transitions Project Coordinator in July 2003.  She worked as part of the Transition team for the WISER and Linkages projects, providing technical assistance, training and on-site support to schools, agencies, families and students.  She currently serves as Project Coordinator for the Montana Transition Training, Information and Resource Center, and Project Co-Director of the Partnerships for Transition Project.  Brown completed her Master of Social Work degree in May 2007.
