About the company

Jack.org

Jack.org works with youth across Canada to teach mental health fundamentals, reduce stigma, create peer-to-peer connections, and create communities of belonging to help young people own their mental health journeys. Suicide is still the leading health-related cause of death for youth in Canada. Countless young people live with ’that feeling’ of anxiety, stress, despair, or loneliness. It’s a crisis that’s hard to see and harder to live through. With our help, across classrooms and campuses, in communities across the country, youth are focussing on prevention by taking charge of their mental health, and looking out for their peers. 💙💙💙 Au Canada, le suicide demeure la principale cause de décès liée à la santé chez les jeunes. Et pourtant, cette crise reste largement invisible. Chaque jour, des milliers de jeunes avancent en silence, porteur.euse.s de ce sentiment diffus mais pesant : l’anxiété, le stress, la solitude, ou ce désespoir qui n’a pas toujours de nom. Chez Jack.org, nous croyons que les jeunes ont non seulement le droit, mais aussi le pouvoir de transformer cette réalité. C’est pourquoi nous travaillons avec eux.elles et nous leur transmettons les fondements essentiels de la santé mentale, pour briser la stigmatisation, créer des liens authentiques entre pairs et bâtir des communautés d’appartenance où chacun.e peut apprivoiser le chemin vers la santé mentale. Dans les écoles, sur les campus et au cœur des communautés, un mouvement prend forme. Ce sont des jeunes qui s’élèvent pour prévenir plutôt que guérir, qui prennent leur santé mentale en main et qui tendent la main à ceux.celles qui en ont besoin.

What is the Jack Talk for Indigenous Youth? Check out this video

The Jack Talk for Indigenous Youth puts community practice front and centre in educating about mental health struggle and healing from Indigenous perspectives. The program uses contact-based education and peer-to-peer outreach to connect Indigenous youth across Canada in conversations about mental health and healing.

A Jack Talk for Indigenous Youth is made up of two parts:

  • a video portion that explains social determinants of mental health from Indigenous perspectives and features youth stories about navigating mental health struggle, experiences with stigma and the relationship between culture, community and mental health
  • a live sharing circle led by an Indigenous Youth Facilitator who guides participants in exploring lessons and reflections, using the video portion as the spark for generating group discussion and connection.
