Jr. High, High School and College Talks

School Assemblies High-energy sessions that go beyond motivation to give students real tools for mental health and emotional resilience. Perfect for schools that want more than an inspiring message; these assemblies equip young people to recognize when they or someone around them is struggling and take meaningful action.

  • Recognize warning signs of mental health struggles in themselves and peers
  • Build confidence to start difficult conversations instead of staying silent
  • Learn actionable response strategies grounded in Project 55’s frameworks
  • Walk away equipped, not just inspired

Teacher & Staff Talks Educators are the first line of response for students in crisis, and most have never been trained for it. These sessions draw from Project 55’s Mental Health First Responder framework to equip staff with the skills to recognize warning signs, respond effectively, and protect their own mental health in the process.

  • Identify early indicators of student mental health distress
  • Respond to crisis moments with confidence using proven frameworks
  • Set boundaries that prevent compassion fatigue and burnout
  • Create classroom environments where students feel safe enough to speak up
