What is the Pre-Recorded Jack Talk: Classroom Edition? Good question!
**Book your Jack Talk using the form below.**
The Pre-recorded Jack Talk is a 45-60 minute digital mental health learning experience that includes videos, quizzes, and activities facilitated by the organizer (you!). We provide access to our online learning system which has materials to help you guide young people through the experience.
The Talk is designed for young people aged 13-24 and is delivered by two trained youth speakers aged 18-24 so there is an authentic peer-to-peer connection between the speakers and the audience. The speakers share their own mental health story in accordance with our Safe Storytelling guidelines which ensure that audiences receive the story in a way that is non-triggering and positive. They also educate audiences about the basics of mental health and share lessons on how to recognize signs of struggle in themselves and their peers, and how to access mental health support.
