Champions
Bringing mental health promotion initiatives into community spaces where youth already connect.
Jack Champions are youth groups that bring mental health promotion initiatives into spaces where youth already connect — sports teams, cultural organizations, youth centers, and beyond.
By bringing Jack.org’s mental health resources into existing spaces, Champion initiatives reach young people where they are. This flexible model reduces barriers and is designed to help more young people, especially equity-deserving youth, access mental health programming with ease.
Champion Mental Health Change
Bring mental health resources and knowledge to your community, and gain valuable leadership and community-building skills along the way.

Champions offerings
Want to support your community’s mental health but don’t know where to start? Champions can bring the following programs to their communities.
Unlock mental health on campus
Take a deep dive into what mental health supports look like on your post-secondary campus by taking part in the Community Assessment Tool. You'll work alongside Jack.org staff to explore strengths, supports, and challenges to student mental health on campus.
A space to share knowledge and experience
Create a space to deep-dive into topics that are important to the mental health of your community. With Jack.org's support, you'll design an event for young people and work with other groups to bring community together to learn, support, and make change.
Bring mental health conversation to your community
Team up with a Jack Talks Speaker to bring mental health conversation to your community. Talks are delivered by young people and provide essential information about what influences our mental health, signs and symptoms of mental health struggle, self-care, and much more.
Learn Vital Support Skills
Take our two hour certificate that gives you the knowledge, skill, and confidence to support someone who's struggling with their mental health. Share it to make sure everyone knows how to be there and to build a world where support isn't hard to find when things get tough.
