"The Behind Happy Faces Curriculum fills a critical gap in our campus mental health promotion efforts... [BHF] makes thinking deeply about mental health approachable. It speaks through personal stories, conceptual frameworks, and engagement modules that meet students where they are and compels them to take proactive steps to promote their own and their friends’ positive mental health."
"Having the opportunity to incorporate components of the Behind Happy Faces curriculum into our 2015 Duke Greek Emerging Leaders (DGEL) program was phenomenal. The exercises truly resonated with our Greek students. As leaders in our Greek community, they learned the importance of maintaining open communication and approaching their interactions with others in an empathetic way."
"Peer involvement is one of the most important parts of mental health education. Behind Happy Faces utilizes this crucial element to allow students to feel connected to each other, and have conversations in a safe, empowering and creative manner. Students learn the basics of mental health, which better prepares them to address their emotions."
"Behind Happy Faces deepens the emotional bond in our chapters, urges members to seek help earlier and provides invaluable advice on how to support each other. Overall, this curriculum prompts members to have conversations about a difficult topic that is often hidden. These conversations will ultimately save lives."
