MindUP for MHED

What a night!

This year we shared the stage with MindUP - a not-for-profit organization founded by the Goldie Hawn Foundation to help children develop the knowledge and tools they need to strive in school and in life. The evidence-based MindUP program was developed by a team of experts grounded upon four scientific pillars: neuroscience, mindful awareness, social-emotional learning (SEL) and positive psychology. The event saw two powerful and enlightening speakers take the stage. Dr. Jean M. Clinton, BMus, MD, FRCP(C), Clinical Professor McMaster University, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences explained the science behind MindUP. Dido Balla, Head of Education for MindUP, introduced our audience to the simple MindUP skills and every participant received a year-long membership to the MindUP for Life online platform.  The event was presented by Project Give Back and also featured a few remarks from its founder, Ellen Schwartz.



Mental health issues affect us all. It is almost impossible these days to find a family, a classroom, a hockey team and more who are not affected. We know that one in five kids experience some level of struggle with their mental health, and that Covid has only exacerbated the problem.


Parents, please know you are not alone. Teachers, we know you are seeing anxiety and depression in your classrooms. And to the front line workers with our children — you are the camp counsellors, hockey coaches, dance teachers and more who spend time with our kids and play such an incredible role in their development. 


Let’s all gather together at MHED events and empower each other.

MHED brings experts and people with lived experience together. Together we learn from each other and together we are stronger.


Our annual event occurs in Toronto in October, with online seminars throughout the year. Watch this space for what is coming next. 

asking for help is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness
