A Lifeline of Support & Connection
At 18, Luca Bernardini faced mental health struggles after a high-profile incident at the school made headlines in the media. Luca struggled to cope with the negative attention and, recalling lessons learned at Jack Talk he attended, began to pay more attention to caring for his mental health and wellbeing.
"Jack.org didn’t just give me information—they gave me human support and energy. It’s powerful how Jack Talks allow everyone to take something different away. It’s not just about the facts; it’s about connecting with people and moving the needle forward on how we talk about mental health.”
Now, at 22, Luca uses the skills he learned from Jack.org in all aspects of his life.
“Jack Talks taught me so much. It’s not just about sharing stories—it’s about refining the message, building speaking skills, and helping others understand how important mental health really is.”
"Having Chapters on post-secondary campuses gives students the opportunity to lead real, local change. Every community is different, and deserves solutions that work for them. When young people lead, they're able to shape mental health initiatives that respond to the unique needs of our peers. That's the power of Chapters."
