Kind Mind
School Tour
Join the Party with a Purpose!
We’re thrilled to introduce you to a NEW mental health initiative that will engage thousands of students, teachers and families across BC to provide them with the mental health resources they need.

Our Kind Mind program provides teachers, students, and parents with mental health tools crafted by our team of child psychologists, teachers and school counsellors. Our program is designed to be simple and easy to execute that doesn’t put more work on teachers or parents. We’re proud to partner with leading mental health organizations such as BC Crisis Center to offer these enriching experiences.
Best of all, this program and dance are FREE for schools with limited spots available!
READY TO LEARN MORE?
The KIND MIND Tour is here to AMPLIFY MENTAL HEALTH awareness for both parents and children.
Event Overview
Imagine your students dancing, laughing, and learning mental health tips that will help them build resilience for years to come.
The Kind Mind School Tour is designed to unite your school community and give children a positive experience of being kind to themselves and others.
Did you know one of the biggest preventative factors for mental health is having a sense of belonging and connection at school?
This is not just ABOUT a dance; it’s A MONTH OF learning, and connection.
Schools who commit to our Kind Mind program are rewarded with an EPIC mental health party where kids can dance the day away with DJ Rock’N’Beau leading the charge. Throughout the event, she emphasizes the importance of kindness to oneself and others and reflects on all the lessons they have learned over the past month. DJ Rock’N’Beau keeps the energy high with great tunes, interactive prizes, sing-alongs, and dance-offs.
Don’t miss out on this chance to make mental health fun and accessible for students!
The Kind Mind ConfiDANCE is just the grand finale of a month-long initiative. In the weeks leading up to the dance, schools receive Kind Mind kits filled with resource packs, kindness challenges, and optional workshops to help embed the values of kindness and mental health awareness in students.
Most importantly, students will take home magnets and information sheets for parents on where and how they can access mental health resources for their children. Reaching parents in a unique and memorable way is one of The Kelty Foundation’s biggest goals!
Dance-a-Thon Fundraiser
We’re giving kids the chance to be part of the solution!
The Kind Mind ConfiDANCE includes a Dance-a-Thon where students can raise donations through pledges (while igniting conversation around mental health in their community). They’ll dance their hearts out to raise money, with all funds supporting a pay-it-forward model allowing other schools across BC to access the Kind Mind School Tour.
The classroom with the highest donations will win a pizza party before the dance!

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. The minimum requirement is for teachers to show their class a 10 minute video followed by a 5-10 minute exercise. That’s it! Optional extension lesson plans will be provided but are absolutely not necessary. The only other thing we ask is that you distribute the take home kits for parents and hand out our Kelty pencils for kids that complete the challenges. Students who complete the challenge will also be entered to win a t-shirt that you can draw a name for at the end of the month.
04
What grades is this for?
We have designed separate materials for primary K-3 and elementary 4-7. Schools also have the option to separate the dances into two hours, one for each group. Some workshops are only available for elementary grades. We realize some districts have middle schools and we are happy to tailor and customize the program to your school’s needs.
