Kind Mind School Tour
At The Kelty Foundation, we believe in focusing upstream—building resilience, reducing stigma and raising awareness for families about the mental health resources available before crisis hits. Introducing the Kind Mind Program: a school-based initiative that encourages meaningful conversations around mental health and equips families with the tools to foster mental well-being from the start.

Program Overview
This initiative aims to equip students and families with lasting mental health skills to build resilience for the future.
The Kind Mind School Tour is designed to unite your school community, fostering a positive environment where students, families, and educators connect through meaningful conversations about mental well-being. It’s an opportunity to help children learn the importance of kindness to themselves and others, while accessing valuable resources for emotional health.
When it comes to mental illness, childhood is a critical period, with 70% of mental health problems beginning during childhood or adolescence.
At a time when youth mental health challenges are rising, Kind Mind focuses upstream — providing students and families with simple, stigma-free tools to build emotional resilience before crisis hits.
Each week during Kind Mind Month, students engage in kindness challenges and social-emotional activities that open the door for real conversations at home. Every student brings home Kind Mind resources — including magnets and take-home sheets that connect caregivers to mental health supports in their community.
Because reaching parents in a meaningful and memorable way is one of The Kelty Foundation’s biggest goals.

Don’t miss out on this chance to make mental health fun and accessible for students!
FAQs
01
What does it cost the school?
Nothing at all. Thanks to the support of The Kelty Foundation and our generous donors, the entire Kind Mind Program — including Kind Mind Kits, student prizes, and the end-of-month school dance — is completely free.
All we ask is that your whole school community is ready to participate and commit to Kind Mind Month!
02
How does our school prepare for the Kind Mind School Tour?
It’s easy! Just have your principal or school counsellor reach out to our team at contact@thekeltyfoundation.org.
We’ll help you choose a date — starting with your Confi-DANCE and working backward to plan the four weeks of Kind Mind Month. Once confirmed, we’ll send you a letter of commitment and deliver your Kind Mind Kits to classrooms a few days before your start date.
03
What do teachers have to do?
Don’t worry teachers! We know you already have a ton on your plate. That’s why our program is designed to be as easy as possible for you to integrate. All materials are designed for kids to do with their parents or caregivers so all you need to do is play a weekly 2-minute video, go over the challenges and give them stickers when complete!
04
What grades is this for?
We have designed separate materials for K-1, 2-4, and 5-7. Schools also have the option to separate the dances into two hours, one for each group, or one full dance for 60 minutes. We realize some districts have middle schools and we are happy to tailor and customize the program to your school’s needs.
Party with a Purpose
Our month long Kind Mind program is rewarded by an EPIC Confi-dance party with leading kids DJ— Rock’N’Beau!
