WHAT WE DO

Kind Hearts for Kids (KH4K) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Bourne, Massachusetts, whose mission is to provide kindness, belonging, and clinically-informed skills to children and teens throughout our community — because every child deserves the Courage to follow their Dreams.

Founded in 2019, KH4K delivers community-based behavioral health prevention programming to children and teens across Cape Cod, Wareham, Plymouth and beyond, with particular attention to those in grandparent-led families. Core activities include the NEST program — a DBT-informed coping skills curriculum for ages 8–18, open to all children and teens in our community — along with holiday programming and community events that foster belonging and connection for children who have experienced loss and instability. Programming is offered at no cost to grandparent-led families, and is available on a sliding scale or scholarship basis for others. All programming is facilitated under licensed clinical oversight, ensuring that services reflect current best practices in behavioral health prevention while remaining accessible, warm, and community-rooted. KH4K exists to fill the gap between clinical treatment and everyday life — meeting all children and families where they are, with the skills and support they need to thrive.
