Kids Have Stress Too!
Stress affects children as well as adults - and can result in health problems or difficulty in school. Giving families and caregivers guidance in teaching children to manage stress is the mission of Kids Have Stress Too!
An initiative of the Psychology Foundation of Canada, Kids Have Stress Too! is based on extensive research with parents, caregivers and other professionals and has been piloted, evaluated and refined based on what actually works for children. Facilitators, trained to deliver the program, offer workshops in their communities where parents learn how to recognize stress in their children and find out how to help them handle stress effectively.
TD is the lead national sponsor and a long-time supporter of the program. Our funding has supported projects such as public awareness materials and training to help health-care professionals deliver stress management workshops to families.
