At Mind Out Loud, middle and high school students from across California, the U.S., and throughout the world will have the opportunity to connect with one another on issues of mental health, wellness, and suicide prevention. The event aims to empower students aged 13 and above with practical and creative ways to share their stories and discuss mental health.

Participants will hear from engaging speakers, including actor and comedian Rainn Wilson, on these topics, learn how to reduce stigma, and gain access to resources to help advocate for their peers on campus. 

Students are encouraged to host watch parties at their school to create a shared experience and facilitate conversation. The webinar will be available afterward so students can watch anytime.
