The Unsilence team worked throughout the summer to build new connections and raise our profile with various schools and community organizations to foster placement for "Tomorrow". We had a successful summer event, SHADOWS: a human rights quest, that educated Chicago communities about social issues, including mental health. We also officially announced our partnership with Shameless, an interactive music-making program that helps students give voice to their vulnerabilites.We have seen our outreach and messaging efforts lead to a 14.62% increase to the web traffic to "Tomorrow" in the past month alone.
As we enter the 2018-19 school year, we are primed to place "Tomorrow" in more schools to help start even more conversations about mental health and well-being. We are currently in the proposal stage with various public and private schools in the Chicago area, including Barrington High School and Middle School, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School, Bell Elementary and more!
