The National Public Speaking Project aims to:

promote an awareness among young people of the importance of positive mental health and of the causes and effects of mental illness
introduce students to public speaking
reduce negative attitudes and prejudices associated with mental illness

MHI’s Public Speaking Project has been very successful for many years. A recent evaluation of the project confirmed the following benefits:

self confidence
rapport and relationship with parents and fellow students
encouragement of social awareness and values
career motivation
success at interviews and examinations
broader understanding and appreciation of the concerns of disadvantaged groups and social problems
school and community co-operation and sense of pride and achievement
research methods and topic analysis

Good luck to all with the project !
