On Wednesday, March 5 middle and high school students will have the opportunity for a fun and exciting experience titled: The Lionheart Experience.
This special event has been brought to Burnett County and made possible by partnerships with the Youth of Burnett County Prevention Coalition, Burnett County Public Health, Burnett County Health & Human Services and other area organizations that recognize the importance of supporting the mental health of our youth.
Specializing in worth-infusing performances and speaking in schools nation-wide, Joe Vercellino and the Lion Heart Crew create waves in the world of education by placing the spotlight on identity and worth. Through masterful original music from the city of Detroit alongside visual-art and a powerful narrative; Joe and The Lion Heart crew show how both worth and identity are the core influence in everything from school violence, bullying, teen anxiety/depression all the way to high teacher turnover in schools and issues at home.
Throughout the year, Joe and The Crew travel, speaking and performing in schools and at conferences as The Lion Heart Experience; a school assembly designed to infuse young people with a sense of self-worth and purpose.
With strong themes of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), mental-health awareness and drug, alcohol & suicide prevention, The Lion Heart Experience has significant impacts on both preventing and alleviating teen-anxiety in schools nation-wide.
