ONE CONVERSATION CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING

Your gift sparks thousands.

Help train those brave enough to speak out, so more young Canadians never have to struggle alone.‍

Over 1.25 million young Canadians need mental health support every year. More than half go without it. And behind that number are countless more who are struggling but haven't found the words, the courage, or the person to say them to yet.

Those conversations only happen when someone knows how to start them.

That is what Jack.org makes possible. Openness is contagious. When a young person with lived experience speaks first, it gives everyone in the room permission to do the same. Jack.org is Canada's largest trainer of youth to spark that effect in classrooms and communities across the country.

One trained speaker. Hundreds of young people. A thousand conversations that change everything.

"You can’t ask for help if you don’t have the words to explain what you’re going through. But mental health struggle is manageable when you have the right support. With your help, we can show youth that no one has to struggle alone.”
— Isaiah Neil, Jack Talks Speaker
