Workshop Support Provided
-
Confidence
Most people don’t know where to start with mental health because they’ve never been shown a clear way to work with it.
This section builds confidence by normalising mental health and showing you how to work with it early, before things build up. It covers:- Understanding your mental health.
- Clear up confusion and outdated beliefs.
- Learn how to work on it before things build up.
- Build a solid foundation before changing behaviour.
-
Conversations
Starting mental health conversations feels hard when they seem risky, awkward, or like you might say the wrong thing.
This section teaches practical tools and easy-to-use language that take the guesswork out out of starting conversations and making them count. It covers:- Learn when to talk, who to talk to, and how to start.
- Use simple tools to name what’s going on.
- Have conversations that reduce pressure instead of adding to it.
- Build skills you can use in real moments, not theory.
-
Clarity
Conversations can bring relief, but without direction, that relief fades.
This section helps you make sense of what shifts after talking and create a simple plan to maintain clarity over time. It covers:- Experience what it feels like to stop carrying things alone.
- Understand why talking works.
- Create a simple plan to maintain momentum after the workshop.
- Know how to recreate clarity again and again.

What did people learn?
Who’s behind this workshop
I’m Jack, founder of It’s Cool To Cry.
I created this because most people don’t struggle with mental health due to a lack of effort, they struggle because they don’t have clear language, tools, or a starting point.
I’ve delivered the Confidence, Conversations and Clarity workshop face-to-face to thousands of people.
The patterns are consistent: people wait too long, feel unsure what's "normal", and don’t know how to start conversations until they're overwhelmed.
This self-paced version delivers the same practical tools and language in a non-clinical format designed for real life.
It’s not therapy or motivation, it’s preventative-focused, structured work you can repeat.
