Welcome to
MindKit
MindKit is a place for youth – like you! – to explore things related to mental health. It was created especially for and by young Family members of Canadian Veterans living with a posttraumatic stress injury (PTSI).
We’re here to help you learn about things like mental health and the brain, what it’s like to live with PTSI in your Family and different ways to handle challenges.
