    • Mission

    Mission: Kids Now empowers grade 5-8 students to believe they deserve to make positive choices with their lives by providing critical life tools and the ability to know how and why to use them to become successful, confident leaders. Vision: A world where youth grow to be successfully participating citizens in their community. The Kids.Now Canada program, mission and vision align with the World Health Organization (WHO)'s definition of Mental Health: "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community" (WHO, 2022). https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-health-strengthening-our-response
