What’s a Jack Talk?

Jack Talks are free mental health presentations by youth, for youth. Talks give young people the space to learn mental health essentials, including signs of struggle, the role of the social determinants of mental health, self-care strategies, and where to seek support if they or someone they know is struggling.

What’s New?

Jack Talks are delivered in a modular method, meaning they can be tailored to the needs of the audience. 
This year we’re launching two new themes as requested by educators AND young people, covering Social Media Literacy and Academic Pressure.
Social Media Literacy

Theme 1: Social Media Literacy

Social media literacy is the ability to critically analyze, evaluate, access, and engage with various social media platforms. Hear Jack Talks Speakers discuss how they navigated this in their own lives, and encourage positive mental health social media practices with your students.

Theme 2: Academic Pressure

Academic Pressure is the mental strain students feel due to ongoing internal and external pressure related to school, which can drain their mental energy. Hear Jack Talks Speakers discuss their journey navigating this in their own lives, so your students can do the same.

They work hard to destigmatize mental health, one conversation at a time:
