Mindset Kidz facilitates the “Mind Your Mental Health” workshop each summer for rural and marginalized youth. The goal of this six week program is to fully engage youth within rural communities to learn about and discuss key topics on mental health to dispel the stigma surrounding these issues. Students are able to hear from trained, mental health professionals about the causes of anxiety, depression in youth and discuss ways to cope with COVID-related grief. Youth are provided with mental health resources, toolkits, and project based learning opportunities that increase healthy coping skills and connect them with peer support.
