Mental Health Packages
Cheers for Kids also creates mental health packages designed to support young people facing mental health challenges with comfort, encouragement, and thoughtful resources that remind them they are not alone.
What the program is
A tangible way to offer care and encouragement.
Mental health challenges can feel isolating, especially for young people. The Mental Health Packages program was created to offer thoughtful support in a form that feels personal, warm, and reassuring.
Each package is intended to communicate a simple message: you matter, your wellbeing matters, and there are people cheering for you.
So far, 900+ mental health packages have been created through the Cheers for Kids community.
What may be included
Thoughtful items selected with care.
The exact contents can vary by initiative, but the goal is always the same: provide practical, encouraging support.
Affirmation cards
Positive and encouraging messages to remind recipients that they are seen, valued, and supported.
Journaling or reflection prompts
Simple prompts that encourage self-expression, reflection, or moments of calm.
Comfort items
Thoughtful small items that can help create a sense of care, reassurance, and ease.
Creative activities
Activities that encourage mindfulness, creativity, or a healthy mental break.
Why it matters
Small gestures can create real emotional support.
Receiving a thoughtful package can help a young person feel remembered and cared for.
Simple tools and activities can support moments of calm, expression, and reflection.
The program gives volunteers a meaningful way to support mental health with compassion and intention.
