Smiling Mind is a leading Australian not-for-profit dedicated to empowering generational change in mental health. For 12+ years we’ve pioneered evidence-based programs that help kids thrive, through teacher-ready, curriculum-aligned school programs and our free app that gives families practical tools for daily wellbeing. Trusted by millions of parents and educators, we’re committed to making mental fitness accessible to everyone.
Kids deserve to grow up learning the skills to be mentally healthy, in the same way they learn the skills to read and write.
Half of all adult mental health conditions first emerge before the age of 14, and over the past 15 years, the number of young people experiencing mental ill-health has grown by 50%.
Amidst a mental health crisis, Smiling Mind seeks to create long-term change in mental health and wellbeing that will ripple into future generations. And that starts with helping today's kids develop the mental resources to navigate life's ups and downs before the symptoms of mental ill-health arise.
