Growing up on Manitoulin Island, Larissa rarely heard people speak openly about mental health. That changed when a Jack Talk came to her high school. Hearing someone from her own community share their experience helped Larissa realize she wasn’t alone. Inspired to do the same for others, she became a Jack Talks Speaker and got involved with Jack Chapters.
“Jack Talks changed my life by letting me know I wasn’t alone. I want to make sure other young people know that too.”
Today, Larissa is helping more young people find their voices, speak openly about mental health, and feel less alone. Read more about our Impact.
MAKE MENTAL HEALTH TALK POSSIBLE
With your support today, thousands of young people across Canada will get essential mental health education from a peer they can relate to through Jack Talks, Jack Communities, and the Be There Certificate.
Youth mental health in Canada has been in decline for over a decade. More young people than ever before are living with depression, anxiety, and a sense of helplessness.
