Do you offer group volunteer opportunities?
From little things, big things grow. We started with one foot in front of the other and you can do the same, by empowering young people, families and educators in your community.
We welcome companies, associations, communities of faith, groups, and individuals to help create Good Mental Health Toolkits for youth, families, and educators.
These kits — designed for youth, families, and educators — provide practical, turnkey 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 distribute them — including schools, community-based organizations, faith communities, park districts, and medical and mental health providers that serve youth, families, and professionals.A few creative ways 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 share toolkits with their patients and families.
- Youth Groups providing youth and family toolkits.
- Faith Communities sharing them with their congregations.
These toolkits can be customized to be distributed to any group in any setting! The resources are designed to be universal for any child, family or educator.
Spanish-language resources are also available. To get started building a Good Mental Health Toolkit, visit our volunteer page.
