Today’s presentation was fantastic! It was the first time I’ve had YouthSpeak and they were impressive! The combination of personal story and facts (slide show) and strategies and advice was all very effective! The most prevalent message was to find someone to talk to, don’t try to handle it alone. The other messages were also very impactful and clear too: your own opinion of yourself if what matters, watch what you post/respond to, recognize your feelings.

The speakers today, Lolita and Alex, were AMAZING!!! I really appreciate how real and personable they were. I will 10000000% be reaching out in future.

The clients are absolutely loving the sessions and have provided nothing but excellent feedback. I did have the chance to sit in on the first session and I found the speakers to be so knowledgeable, professional and relatable. Youth Speak has far exceeded our expectations and we look forward to booking more sessions.

Thanks for sending the inspiring speakers on Monday to help kick off our Mental Health Awareness Week! Kobby and Bianca were AMAZING! So many of our kids stayed behind to chat with them which was so refreshing to see our students connect and feel comfortable to ask questions! What a remarkable organization you guys are a part of!

This morning’s assemblies were amazing and exactly what our BRAVE team was looking for! Our senior students were very engaged during the entire presentation. The speakers were very professional and ensured that very sensitive topics were presented to students in a way that they can understand. The most impactful part of the assembly was hearing stories from real youth that have been through a difficult time and sought help successfully. Key messages: ‘You are not alone’ ‘Mental Health is very important’ ‘It is important to seek help if needed’ I anticipate that students took today’s message to heart and would be a little more comfortable asking for help for a friend or themselves.

The presentation was fantastic! The kids really enjoyed participating in the poll through the chat as well as the emoji game and I think that both activities were relatable for them when Lolita spoke to why they are so important. Both Michael and Bianca related their stories to the pandemic and how important it is to surround yourself by good people and talk to someone if they are experiencing mental health issues- something I think the students really needed to hear! I’ve seen YouthSpeak live and I think you did an amazing job at moving it online and still being able to reach the kids.

I love the positivity and being kind messages, being kind to others. I think it went so well. During online learning it’s difficult to have students engage – I loved the online activities because I thought it was such a fun way to engage even the shy students. I was so happy with today’s presentation – thank you again!

I thought the presentation was executed professionally and it was full of useful content. I think, especially considering the shift to an online format, it was a 10/10.
