Supporting the future of mental health in children and youth.

The Kelty Foundation is dedicated to partnering with mental health organizations that reach and support children and youth when, and how, they need it most.

At The Kelty Foundation, we are committed to focusing upstream, building resilience and bridging the gap between mental health resources and the families who need them most.

Introducing the Kind Mind Program. An innovative, memorable, and unique way to get resources to parents and build resilience in children. Kind Mind Month is designed to engage students, educators, and parents/caregivers in meaningful conversations about mental well-being, reduce stigma, and amplify the awareness about resources available to families BEFORE families experience crisis and children enter the trickier years of adolescence.

1 in 5 Canadians are affected by mental illness in their lifetime…. Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death in youth. Together, we can change this.

The Kelty Foundation has raised over 8 million dollars for mental health initiatives in Canada and we’re not done yet…
