Increase Awareness of Social Issues with Heartspeak

- Mental Health/Healthy Relationships
- Indigenous Issues and Reconciliation
- Gender Issues/Transgender
- Homelessness/Poverty
- Differing Abilities/Disabilities

Interacting with Heartspeak stories and digital resources, students, teachers, or parent groups identify strategies and ways to make school life better—[optional: culminating their efforts by inviting members of the school community to literally embrace it—forming a human circle around it].
