PROJECT SPEAK UP! Theatre on Purpose

  • 1.  PROJECT SPEAK UP! Theatre on Purpose

    Stop by the PROJECT SPEAK UP! booth at the EDTA National Convention to hear about a royalty-free educational toolkit that uses theatre as a catalyst for conversation about issues impacting the mental health of students.  SPEAK UP! enables adults to see the issues and their causes through a youth lens and equips them with the tools they need to listen and support them. The educational toolkit has been developed by mental health professionals and piloted as a resource to provide easy on-ramps within the school setting to empower young people to speak up about their mental and emotional health needs.  When Students "Speak Up" are you listening? www.theatreonpurpose.org
