(From the June 2024 issue of MedStat)

In April, Nationwide Children’s announced that The On Our Sleeves Movement For Children’s Mental Health is expanding its mission, moving forward as The Kids Mental Health Foundation. The new foundation aims to create a world where mental health is a vital part of every child’s upbringing.

Since its inception in 2018, On Our Sleeves has grown exponentially, providing free educational tools and resources to more than 15 million people across the United States.

The Kids Mental Health Foundation’s free resources — guides, videos, curriculum, articles — are custom-built by Nationwide Children’s experts to help parents learn how to start talking about mental health and build skills around mental health with their children before there’s a concern or emergency.
