Kids Have Stress Too!® (KHST!)

Kids Have Stress Too!® (KHST!) helps parents and caregivers understand childhood stress and how to provide children with the tools to deal with stress effectively. It is a broad-based primary prevention program to provide parents, caregivers, and communities with the knowledge, awareness, and skills to help young people become healthier and more resilient through learning how to manage their stress.

The original KHST! program was developed in collaboration with Toronto Public Health and the Toronto District School Board. A second Pre-School Program for child-care providers was added in 2006, for children 2½ to 5 years old. Invest in Kids is the delivery partner for both programs, and together we are working to bring these comprehensive training programs to every province in Canada.

If you have been trained in one of the Kids Have Stress Too!® programs, you can order materials by completing and sending us the order form found in the Order/Download Publications section.

We are grateful to TD Financial Group for their continued generous support of the Kids Have Stress Too!® program.
