Mental health is health, and no young person should have to navigate a hard day alone. The Youth Mental Health Kynd Kit is a purpose-driven care package built to help youth and teens practice coping skills, express what they are feeling, and hold on to small reminders of hope and support.
Just as importantly, these kits help start conversations among youth and teens at school and in the community, breaking down stigma around mental health and mental illness. Each kit is assembled by volunteers, with personal touches that remind the recipient that someone is cheering them on.
What’s inside the kit:
This one is all about grounding, self-expression, and encouragement. Kit contents can vary slightly based on inventory and need. Included in the kits:
- A note of encouragement

Where completed kits go (and who receives them)
These kits are intended for a youth or teen who is struggling with their mental wellness. Through programs like Kynd Schools, kits are distributed through schools, counselors, and community partners across the country so that more young people can access support in a low-barrier way.
