Our Impact

Since our start in 2018 as On Our Sleeves, The Kids Mental Health Foundation has made monumental achievements.

In just six short years, The Kids Mental Health Foundation has:

• Engaged with more than 24 million people through our content, helping them navigate kids’ mental health through our tools and resources.
• Reached nearly 3 million classrooms with educator curriculum and videos.
• Produced hundreds of resources that promote kids’ mental health – all available for free.
• Participated in a White House discussion about representation of children’s mental health in the entertainment industry.
• Hosted the Operation: Conversation discussion with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy to address how children’s mental health impacts us in our homes, at school and in the workplace.
• Studied the effects of children’s mental health on the workplace and, in response, launched an online workplace curriculum, “Bloom,” to educate parents about their children’s mental health.
• Partnered with dozens of youth-service organizations and children’s hospitals across the country to reach kids in local communities.
• Collaborated with GoNoodle to create its first social-emotional learning channel, "The Mooderators," that teaches children about navigating their mental health through short videos and curricula.

And the result?

Through innovation and collaboration with our partners, we’re making meaningful traction toward our goal to make mental health a vital part of the upbringing of every child!
