At The Jordan Leigh Foundation, we are deeply committed to educating individuals and communities about mental health and its connection to addiction. Our mission is to create safe spaces where people can openly discuss challenges, seek support, and break down the barriers imposed by stigma. Inspired by Jordan's story, we strive to raise awareness, foster understanding, and promote healthier coping mechanisms.

Presentations

Our presentations serve as powerful educational tools, tailored to the unique needs of your audience - whether it's a school, office, or community group. Each session is designed to spark meaningful conversations and foster a deeper understanding of mental health and addiction.

Key focus areas include:

  • The interconnectedness of mental health and addiction

  • The dangers of toxic substances and harmful drugs

  • Recognizing signs of overdose and prevention strategies

  • Using compassionate language to promote empathy

We also share Jordan's personal journey, illustrating the foundation’s origins and mission. Each presentation concludes with resource cards and items from our RISE UP Collection to inspire and uplift attendees.

Workshops

Our interactive workshops provide participants with hands-on opportunities to make a difference while deepening their understanding of mental health and community outreach. Workshops can be customized for schools, offices, or any group looking to foster teamwork, empathy, and action.

Participants engage in:

  • Filling RISE UP Bags with essential items for the homeless community

  • Writing personal notes of encouragement to include in each bag

  • Participating in the Words That Matter Campaign, where participants create and distribute positive affirmation posters and leave inspiring notes in shared spaces

These workshops highlight the power of kindness and small actions, showing participants how their efforts can create lasting positive change. By leaving affirmations and encouragement in their communities, participants help spread hope, compassion, and positivity.

Why It Matters

Mental health affects everyone, and education is key to fostering a more compassionate and understanding society. Whether in schools, workplaces, or community settings, our presentations and workshops empower individuals to speak openly about mental health, support one another, and take action to make a difference.

Together, we can RISE UP and create a world where stigma is replaced with compassion, understanding, and hope.
