SPEAKING AND OUTREACH
GFF speaks to audiences wherever they are — because the tools for flourishing are for everyone.
High School Assembly Speaker
Liz speaks to students and faculty together, creating shared language and a common framework across the school community.
““Thank you for bringing Elisabeth to our school. I personally think she was the best speaker on mental health and wellness that I’ve heard. From where I was sitting, it appeared that her story (and Owen’s) truly resonated with our students. I was especially moved by the way she used Owen’s art to communicate the message. Her presentation beautifully illustrated how creativity can serve as a pillar of mental health and wellness—something she clearly embodies through her organization. I am grateful our entire student body witnessed this.” - Department Chair of Visual Arts, BGA high school”
8th Grade Outreach
GFF Teen Ambassadors join Liz to speak directly to incoming high schoolers, offering peer perspective and a welcoming introduction to the GFF community.
Corporate Groups
The science behind wellness doesn't stop at age 18. Liz brings the TANK framework and GFF principles to workplaces navigating burnout, disconnection, and performance culture.
“Your presentation Fill Up the TANK inspired me beyond words. Thank you for sharing your experience, resilience and research with this amazing group of women! We learned so much from you.””
Youth Group
Whether faith-based, athletic, or civic, GFF programming translates across the communities where teens already gather.
““Thank you for the amazing presentation you gave last night at the YMSL meeting. I am blown away by what you have done in memory of your Owen.””
Church Groups
Connection and community are values we share. GFF collaborates with faith communities to deepen conversations about mental health, resilience, and belonging.
““You will never know what an impact your talk at church had on us. I’m reading the shocking book, Anxious Generation now upon your recommendation. Our children and grandchildren are treading dangerous waters at this time in history.” ”
Parents
Liz speaks directly to parent groups about what today's teens are experiencing, what the research says, and what parents can do at home to build resilience and keep the lines of communication open.
“Just wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job at the Symposium on Monday…. My friends and I were glad to hear your message especially after knowing you presented to our kids at FCA in the fall. Thanks for all that you are doing to improve the world.”
Young Adult Groups
The loneliness epidemic doesn't end at graduation. GFF brings its message of connection, purpose, and practical wellness to young adults navigating life after high school.
“I have had multiple people come up to me saying that the way you spoke about mental health didn't bore them or sound like the same old message we always get, and that they understood the message better because of that fact.”
