The Kids Mental Health Foundation is the leading organization promoting mental health for children in the United States. Its mission is to foster a world where mental health is a vital part of every child’s upbringing—where children’s mental health is as important as their physical health, and where grown-ups have the skills to help kids face and manage life’s challenges.
The Kids Mental Health Foundation began as the On Our Sleeves Movement for Children’s Mental Health in 2018. On Our Sleeves continues today as a signature program of The Kids Mental Health Foundation, partnering with leading children’s hospitals and behavioral health providers across the country. On Our Sleeves’ programs help start important conversations and break stigmas by providing free localized resources to families, caregivers, educators and coaches in communities across the U.S.
Since 2018, the Kids Mental Health Foundation has reached nearly 3 million classrooms with educator curriculum and videos and produced hundreds of free resources that promote kids’ mental health.
