NAMI Vermont is actively seeking new volunteers to become Ending the Silence presenters…
Our free Ending the Silence training is a great opportunity to make a positive impact on youth mental health by teaching middle and high school students in your community about mental health and wellness with this research-backed presentation! Share your own mental health journey and a message of hope while teaching students the skills they need to help themselves and others navigate challenging situations.
Ending the Silence is an educational and support-oriented presentation for middle and high school students, their family members, and/or school staff. During an Ending the Silence presentation, two trained volunteers share educational information about mental health such as recognizing warning signs of mental illness, tips on how to help someone who is struggling, and discussion of suicide prevention. Presenters also share their personal story with mental health challenges and their path to recovery. ETS Presentations are free, last 50-60 minutes, and may be given in-person or virtually. They include short videos, a PowerPoint, personal stories from the presenters, and a Q&A period that allows for dialogue with the audience.
