DHCS, in partnership with the Child Mind Institute, launched Positive Parenting, Thriving Kids designed to equip caregivers with invaluable, evidence-based strategies for nurturing resilient and thriving children. Each video is accompanied by learning guides and additional resources, with careful consideration of programs adapted for diverse populations.

As part of CMI's Education Program and building off the success of the Thriving Kids, Health Minds, Thriving Kids, a series of free videos that teach kids important mental health skills, Positive Parenting, Thriving Kids helps provide parents and caregivers with the support they need to face today's parenting challenges.
The video series cover 20 topics that were developed by a team of more than 40 experts from Child Mind Institute, Harvard University, the University of California, and other leading institutions. Content was also informed by survey data collected from a Child Mind Institute and IPSOS survey of 1,000 California parents. The survey found that 85 percent of California parents and caregivers agree they would benefit from resources to support their children and teens when they show signs of stress or anxiety.
