KIDTHINK: Revolutionizing Children's Mental Health in Manitoba
“Our goal is to give the tools to these parents and these kids earlier so that, as they're going through this journey of life, they can use less supports, because they're focusing on the manifestation right at the beginning of these mental illnesses.”
What if there was a way to transform children's mental health care? That's exactly what KIDTHINK is doing in Manitoba. This episode of People First Radio shines a spotlight on KIDTHINK, a children's mental health center that recently received an award for innovation in mental health care from the province.

The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the hurdles facing mental health care in Manitoba and beyond.
Yet, despite these challenges, KIDTHINK remains steadfast in their vision for a future where all children have access to the care they need. Tune in to hear how KIDTHINK is making a real difference and learn more about their innovative approach to children's mental health care.
