MESH Helps is a nonprofit organization that focuses on helping children develop resilience through play by strengthening their critical MESH (mental, emotional, and social health) skills.
Today, the organization announced its collaboration with Amazon and Ravensburger to raise awareness about the urgent need to support youth mental health. As part of this initiative, MESH Helps is launching a storefront on Amazon, showcasing a wide selection of toys and games that have received MESH Accreditation. This will make it easier for families to find products tailored to their needs.
“We are enthusiastic to join forces with Amazon and Ravensburger,” says Rachele Harmuth, MESH Helps Board President. These efforts underscore the importance of leveraging play to build resilience skills in kids worldwide. Together, we’re creating pathways for families to prioritize mental health resilience and well-being through engaging, impactful products.”
The storefront is available here. Earlier this year, Amazon was named Retailer of the Year (Mass, Mass Specialty) in The Toy Book’s inaugural Pulse of Play Awards.
“Amazon is proud to support MESH Helps in their mission,” says Anne Carrihill, Director of Toys and Games at Amazon. “The launch of the MESH Helps Amazon storefront provides an easy, accessible way for our customers to find innovative, accredited MESH toys that foster resilience and growth.”
Attendees of this year’s Toy Fair, which will take place from March 1 to 4 in New York, can identify MESH-accredited toys by looking for the seal. The complete list of accredited toys can be found here.
