Jack.org

Jack.org runs mental health and substance use education programs in high schools and post-secondary institutions across Toronto and beyond. The organization trains student leaders to deliver peer-to-peer education in their own schools, focusing on reducing stigma, building resilience, and connecting young people with support resources. Rather than relying on external speakers, Jack.org empowers students themselves to lead conversations about mental wellness within their communities. The programs address topics like anxiety, depression, stress management, and substance use through evidence-based content delivered by trained student ambassadors. By placing young people at the center of mental health education, Jack.org creates lasting change that resonates with student audiences in their own schools.
