The Jackie Fisher Empathy Tour

Tour promotes mental well-being through real stories of resilience, mental wellness, self-love, and inclusion

Inspirations is thrilled to bring The Jackie Fisher Empathy Tour directly to elementary and high school students across the Great Montreal area. This is a powerful and engaging presentation led by one of three inspiring young women: Samara O’Gorman; Maryam Ganni; or Sara Levitt, this tour promotes mental well-being through real stories of resilience, mental wellness, self-love, and inclusion. It encourages students to embrace differences, build empathy, and help create a more inclusive generation.

This tour is made possible through the generous support of The Jaclyn Fisher Foundation. We are honoured to carry Jackie’s legacy forward by sharing her message of kindness, empathy, and inclusion with students across Greater Montreal and surrounding areas.

As part of our commitment to promoting inclusion and mental well-being, Inspirations is pleased to cover the cost of a good number of presentations for schools. While availability is generous, it is not unlimited. We encourage you to reach out early to ensure access to this valuable opportunity.
