What are the Good Mental Health Toolkits?

You can empower youth, families and educators in your local community through Good Mental Health Toolkits.

Any company, association, community of faith, group or individual can create Good Mental Health Toolkits for youth, families and/or educators. These kits provide practical, turn-key strategies, activities and resources that promote good mental health, reduce stigma, normalize conversations and encourage help-seeking! Once assembled, you can partner with local organizations to hand them out; like schools, community-based organizations, faith communities, park districts, medical and mental health providers that serve youth, families and professionals.

A few creative ideas to use them include:

• Schools provide toolkits to students throughout the year.
• Individuals sharing toolkits with educators to introduce programs to local school communities.
• Educators provide toolkits to families during Family Workshops or Parent Teacher Nights.
• Education companies sharing toolkits with educators.
• Pediatricians and Mental Health Professionals sharing toolkits with their families & patients.
• Youth Groups providing youth and family toolkits.
• Faith Communities sharing them with their congregations.
