Mental health professionals who work with and support youth and families living with mental health issues draw upon a vast toolbox of resources. How to break down these resource silos and facilitate the exchange of this knowledge between organizations is the genesis of Umind.
Kids Health Links Foundation, nationally recognized for programs supporting youth and adolescents facing life challenges and the professionals who care for them, is joining with Everyday Heroes Kids. This paediatric platform connects families and professionals to increase access to care. The partnership will expand the breadth and depth of our programs and provide access to resources and support for parents, caregivers, and health care professionals to enable adolescents in their care to better face life challenges and access timely interventions and support.
