Who We Are
Young Minds Kings County is a dynamic mental health prevention project of the California Health Collaborative, funded by Kings County Behavioral Health.

Through the implementation of evidence-based curricula and promising practice designed to support social-emotional development, coping skills, and mindfulness, Young Minds aims to achieve these key goals:
- Reduce stress and anxiety among students
- Decrease risk for school failure
- Boost emotional self-regulation skills
