"We live in a world where kids' physical and mental health are not treated the same," said Bruce Thorn, president and CEO of Big Lots. "This campaign is so important because it raises dollars for the important work of The Kids Mental Health Foundation, and it also helps share resources and break stigmas in our store communities. We continue to see overwhelming support for this cause from communities nationwide, reflecting the generosity and compassion of our customers and associates."
The Kids Mental Health Foundation created Kindness Kits to provide teachers and students with the resources needed to encourage kindness in the classroom while developing mental wellness skills. Each kit comes with curriculum and materials for 30 students, or one classroom. Studies show that practicing kindness is beneficial for the mental health and well-being of children by reducing stress and negative emotions while increasing their sense of happiness and belonging. Kindness in the classroom can help kids feel more connected to their classmates, build empathy, and reinforce important social skills that support healthy development.
"The Kids Mental Health Foundation continues to lead the way in promoting mental health for children across the country," said Ariana Hoet, PhD, executive clinical director of The Kids Mental Health Foundation and pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "We sincerely appreciate Big Lots' continued partnership, which allows us to distribute thousands of free resources to help parents, caregivers, and teachers build daily habits that promote children's mental wellness. Just like most adults know what kind of habits to build in children for their physical health, these resources promote the behaviors needed to promote mental health."
