TD Bank Financial Group is pleased to be the major corporate sponsor of Kids Have Stress Too!, a parent education program launched by the Psychology Foundation of Canada.

Kids Have Stress Too! gives families the skills and awareness to teach their children how to manage stress in a healthy way. Stress affects all of us but it can be particularly hard on children as they lack the life experience of adults and have few strategies to cope with stress. Children without effective strategies for dealing with stress can experience problems ranging from poor health, to poor relationships with friends and family, to difficulty in school.

Kids Have Stress Too! is a three-part program designed to help parents better understand their children's stress and help them teach their children ways to manage it. Developed with input from clinical psychologists, mental health workers, educators and child development experts, Kids Have Stress Too! includes a comprehensive manual and facilitator training designed to help professionals learn to deliver workshops to families in their communities or in workplaces. By providing funding for the development of this program, TD hopes to help families improve the quality of their children's lives.
