Our mission:
Create Kids Inc. was founded in response to the developmental and educational setbacks children faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, our mission is to design innovative, scalable programs that empower youth and close critical opportunity gaps.
Our organization empowers children and families by educating them on the vital connection between the body, nervous system, and mental health. As a steward of pediatric mental health tech, mentorship strategies, and community success; Create develops the tools and research needed to foster resilience in the next generation.
That includes interactive experiences like our Sensory Fair, our Breathe Better Initiative and Create Futures, which is our teen initiative focused on increasing entrepreneurialism and financial literacy.
Understanding how emotions impact our physical experience means we notice our automatic reactions to frustration, fear, anxiety or stress faster.
Holistic approach
A whole body approach uses education and skills that manipulate the body to increase mental and emotional resilience.
Health Advocacy
Our education and exercises focus on spreading knowledge that leads to greater health equity and better long term health outcomes.
Awareness
Teaching children earlier means better in-the-moment decision making, stronger health related signals and resilience.
