Guardians MH Mental Health Kit Program
Our Mental Health Kit Program Mission
The mission of Guardians Mental Health has been to promote and spread positive mental health along with resources to those who request it. Our kits are a physical representation of that mission. We have compiled evidence-based practices and resources, and ways to access help in each of our mental health kits. Our goal is to continue this initiative, update and ensure our kits meet the highest standard, and always maintain that mission of supporting gamers and all who need it! While we are not a replacement for therapy, the community has accepted our kits as a positive source of support to work alongside someone's mental health journey. As of this writing, over TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND kits have been sent across the US and will continue as we create and focus on other kits in the future.
Guardians MH Mental Health Kits
Mental Health Kit
Supporting gamers before, during and after gaming sessions
Spreading mental health awareness throughout the gaming community has always been our non-profits focus. We strive to act as a first step in assisting individuals with gathering meaningful resources in a safe and inclusive atmosphere. We are continuing this mission by curating and assembling free mental health kits. Their goal is to promote mental health awareness and provide valuable items to individuals.
Each mental health kit concentrates on Gamer’s mental health, self-care and focuses on supporting an individual before, during and after gaming sessions.

You are Not Alone.
You Are Not Alone
We here at GMH proudly support all branches of the military and wanted to design and curate a mental health kit for those individuals. In working with, Stack Up, Wounded Warrior Project, Regiment, and FrostCall, we curated various resources, coping skills, and physical items to address and assist with the mental health of all brave individuals. We hope to provide active service members and veterans with support and guidance if needed.
Esports MH Kit arena
Providing support in the Esports arena!
Esports have been a battle ground for the best games in countless franchises between the mightiest. The mental load associated with Esports competition can negatively affect athletes' mental health. Despite the fact that there is a lack of measures to combat anxiety, depression, burnout, and social exclusion faced by many esports players, these issues still persist. At Guardians MH, we strive to provide resources accessible to all competitive players. Expertly curated by our team of mental health professionals, Esports/gaming experts, nutritionists, experts at 1HP, pro, semi-pro, and collegiate Esports players, and live-streamers. Together, we have compiled Mental Health content and resources worthy of giving aid to every player in the arena, wherever they may be.
Each mental health kit concentrates on gamer’s mental health, self-care, nutrition, hydration, stretches, guided meditations, finding your passion in gaming and focused Esports resources.
Neurodivergent MH Kit
Neurodiversity, everyone thinks in their own unique way!

Suicide Prevention MH Kit
It’s okay to not be okay.
In collaboration with To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), we have built a one-of-a-kind Suicide Prevention-focused Mental Health Kit.
When you’re fighting an invisible battle no one can see with thoughts of suicide, sometimes you need physical objects to help you fight for another day. For times like these, a suicide prevention kit can be so crucial.
In this specially tailored kit, you’ll find a collection of items that help you remember your reasons to keep living — even when you feel all hope is lost. If this sounds like a fantastic idea, but you don’t know where to start, no need to look further.
This kit focuses on supporting gamers and individuals with new printed resources and sensory items from Guardians Mental Health and To Write Love on Her Arms. We hope they make a significant impact on the individuals that request them.

Reviews
“Fantastic resources. Fantastic idea. Particularly the neurodivergent packs. As a professional who is also neurodivergent (ADHD) the "normalisation" of differences in the pack literature is really well written and refreshing”. - Dr. Kim Brown
“This kit is amazing! As a mental health profession and someone who has worked as a crisis clinician for 3 years prior to becoming a therapist, I wish we had kits like these to hand out regularly.” - Simone Arnold
