KENTUCKY LAWYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOUNDATION, INC., (FORGIVABLE) LOAN PROGRAM The KYLAP Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Kentucky Corpora- tion created and approved pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 3.910(8) to promote the mission of the Kentucky Lawyer Assistance Program (KYLAP). KYLAP's mission is to assist Kentucky's lawyers, law students and judges who suffer from impairments including drug, alcohol, or other addictions, depression, and other mental health disorders. The Foundation helps Kentucky's lawyers, law students and judges seek medical and professional treatment for impairment issues when no other financial resources for treatment exist. The Foundation is premised on the same principle as the Kentucky Lawyer Assistance Program — Lawyers Helping Lawyers. Your tax-deductible contribution provides direct help for suffering lawyers through the extension of (forgivable) loans for treatment (paid directly to the medical providers). All money given by lawyers goes directly to the treatment of lawyers. For more information on the Kentucky Lawyer Assistance Program Foundation, Inc., please contact KYLAP Director Yvette Hourigan at (502) 564-3795 or at yhourigan@kylap.org. 50 B&B; • 7.15 K Y L A P KYLAP HOSTS LAWYERS IN RECOVERY MEETINGS IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY AND LEXINGTON The Kentucky Lawyers Assistance Program offers weekly open recovery meetings for lawyers, law students and judges in Northern Kentucky and Lexington.
