same page and excited about the day.
8:30 - 10:15 AM: School Assembly
All about teen motivation and life. Jeff uses his own story to illustrate the pitfalls and temptations young people are likely to encounter and the successes they can celebrate on the road to adulthood.
Behavior. Attitude. Choices. It’s OK to ask for help. Take time to
think.
Jeff is transparent about his own life and his struggles with mental
illness - but his stories are also laced with his unique brand of humor. Today, Jeff is a man who heroically lives with mental illness
and is a staunch advocate for mental health.
Let the energy happen,”
says Jeff. “It’s amazing.
It’s safe. It’s real issues. I
will tell the kids that I’m
here all day, and that if
anybody wants to talk,
we are here.
Jeff doesn’t lecture the students, and his talks are not canned.
Your students will “get him” right off the bat.
10:30 AM: Where we need to be doing what we need to do!
You will discover which students are on the school’s
radar, and who is now going to be on that radar - one
step closer to getting these students the help they
need.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Teacher/Staff In-Service Presentation. Credit hours available for teachers who volunteer. A fun,
insightful and productive hour. Or, Building Walk Through for School Climate and School Spirit
based on Jeff’s 25 years experience.
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Parents and Community Program (See Parents and Community Page)
If there is a sporting event scheduled, Jeff would love to attend. He’s a coach, after all and the
athletes appreciate his being there to support their team.
Let me be a part of your school climate: A teacher,
coach, crazy and excited Uncle Jeff for the day. I’m
your guest. How can I make this a great day?
DAY #2: Consider a Second Day with more coaching, but this time mediating between the teen
and the parents. Parents sign up after the Parent and Community Program. Let’s get these teens
on the right track. After all, they listen to Jeff.

I’m where I need to be,
doing what we need to do
to support and inspire our
kids.
