What are the Good Mental Health Toolkits?

Empower Youth, Families, and Educators in Your Community with 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. Good Mental Health Toolkits provide practical, ready-to-use strategies, activities, and resources that promote good mental health, reduce stigma, normalize conversations about mental health, and encourage help-seeking. Once assembled, you can partner with local organizations to distribute them — such as schools, community-based organizations, faith communities, park districts, and medical and mental health providers that serve youth, families, and professionals.

Here are some ways organizations and individuals can use Good Mental Health Toolkits:

• Schools provide toolkits to students throughout the year.
