Voices For Nolan
Be a Catalyst for Lasting Change.
Not One More STUDENT.
Imagine an auditorium filled with students who arrived knowing nothing more than the topic was hazing prevention and that they were required to attend. Now imagine that same group, 400+ students, in rapt attention. Not a smartphone in sight. You could hear a pin drop.
Scanning the crowd, you see many students visibly moved. Following the screening of the Breathe, Nolan, Breathe documentary, the students’ attention turns to Kim and TJ Burch for a brief presentation followed by an open Q & A. One by one, students tentatively ask questions of Kim & TJ who share their experience, and the real-life ripple effect of Nolan’s death – with a powerful, but approachable grace that also conveys their deep empathy for the challenges these students face.
For Educators
Voices For NOLAN.
As teachers, coaches, administrators, counselors, and more, you see first hand, the many social challenges students face on a daily basis, and the impact those challenges can have on their mental and physical health. Incidents of hazing, which often include the consumption of alcohol, are on the rise. Yet, the educational resources currently available to you often fail to produce the lasting change needed to address the physical, psychological, and social emotional harm caused by hazing. To meet this need, Remember Nolan Project offers a program specifically for educators.
Giving Educators the Tools to Lead.
Our program will help you to identify not only the different forms of hazing and bullying, but also the tell-tale signs a student may display when being hazed or bullied. As educators you cannot protect your students 24/7. However, our program addresses this by enabling you to plant the seeds that will empower your students to act responsibly when they see someone in trouble outside an educational setting.
Voices for Nolan is designed to provide educators with the resources and training they need to recognize bullying and hazing behavior and empower students with the knowledge and tools to create change. We recommend that all school personnel who engage with students participate in this program, including:
Teachers and Administrators
School Counselors
Coaches
Adult leaders of youth programs
Volunteers
Create a Culture Change.
Everyone at the meeting said your talk was phenomenal and the best and most impactful they’ve seen. Many students were talking about the presentation and Nolan all day yesterday, heading into the weekend. They heard the message loud and clear!
