What is the Give Voice Campaign?
An Awareness Campaign for Suicide Prevention Week
Give Voice is an opportunity to empower youth with a week of activities that will give voice to their priorities and needs for good mental health.
Give Voice can be led by a student-led club — such as an Erika's Lighthouse Empowerment Club, Kiwanis Key Club, or SADD Club — or by any other group of passionate students. It can also be facilitated by school professionals working to promote mental health awareness and help-seeking behavior.
Give Voice includes five days of themed activities. Each day is designed to highlight a different pillar of student mental health:
- Education
- Help-Seeking
- Awareness
- Positivity
- Yourself
Give Voice can act as a standalone campaign or can be used alongside Erika's Lighthouse's other programs. The campaign is just one of Erika's Lighthouse programs for school communities. Anyone can easily access it at givevoice.erikaslighthouse.org. You can also find it on the Resource Portal under Schoolwide Campaigns. Give Voice is part of Erika's Lighthouse's Wraparound Supports and is designed to reinforce the Erika's Lighthouse Four Pillars framework.
