What are you going to do:

Change lives + gain skills. Good Grief puts you at the centre of the mental health revolution, giving you the chance to educate and inspire young people in your community and make change across the country.

You'll have the opportunity - and the ability - to help lead the mental health movement by teaching young people that we all have mental health and how they can support each other and themselves.

Good Grief's staff developed the talk in collaboration with young leaders, and it's always delivered by two certified speakers. We'll train you to safely share personal stories, captivate an audience, and spark a revolution.
