The pandemic's challenges and pressures have exacerbated feelings of stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, and loneliness for many students.

Jack Chapters – Youth-led, community-driven mental health advocacy clubs at schools or in the community.

Jack Talks – Mental health presentations delivered to young people by young people.

Jack Summits – Mental health conferences developed by youth, where young people within a region connect, strategize and learn from one another.
