We are here to help answer your questions, provide guidance and support you. At the same time, this is YOUR club, and we encourage you to think outside the box to meet the needs of your school and community.
END STIGMA
The mission of a SpeakUp Club is to increase awareness and understanding of teenage mental wellness, including anxiety and depression, and to show support for those who are struggling. This mission mirrors that of the Cameron K. Gallagher Foundation and supports the vision Cameron began.

Below is a quick start-up guide and questions to
ask yourselves to begin.

Who should you ask to be the faculty club sponsor?
Is there a teacher that students are comfortable talking with, does the teacher have a personal connection to the mission, which teacher do you
trust to share your
feelings with?

How long will the
meetings last?
