The Kids Mental Health Foundation’s mission is to give expert-created resources and tools to all U.S. communities so that everyone can understand and promote mental health for children.

We know exactly what to do if our child breaks an arm or gets the flu. But watching a child endure a panic attack or struggle with the effects of stress may leave us feeling completely helpless.

We envision a future where mental health is a vital part of growing up. Where mental health is just as important physical health, and where grown-ups have the knowledge and skills to help kids face and manage life’s challenges before a crisis or concern.

We’re taking a different approach. Because we know early action can be life changing.
