Ending the Silence

Ending the Silence educates students, families, and school staff about the signs of emerging mental health concerns.

In this 50-minute evidence-based presentation, high school students learn how to support and educate others on reducing mental health stigma. They also have the opportunity to hear the personal story of an individual aged 18 to 25 who lives with a mental health condition.

This presentation aligns with the SEL Illinois Common Core Standards.
