Greg Langford / Schools & universities
School & university speaker A track coach and a scoutmaster saved his life.
Greg Langford grew up in a home riddled with mental illness and suicide. Two adults who paid attention made all the difference. Now he helps students get through hard times, and helps the adults around them become the one who notices.
They come for the laughs. They stay for the truth.
Teenagers can smell a lecture from the parking lot. Greg is a working stand-up who has played the Apollo and Caroline's on Broadway, so students are leaning in before they realize they're learning something.
Then he tells them the part that matters: hard times end, asking for help is strength, and one person paying attention can change everything.
Be the One Who Notices.

Is it appropriate for high school students?
Yes. It's clean and age-appropriate, planned with your counselors in advance, and focused on hope, asking for help and looking out for friends.
Does Greg talk about suicide with students?
Only as much as your school wants. Greg shares his story without graphic detail, coordinates with your counseling team, and points students to trusted adults, school counselors and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
What formats are available?
Student assemblies, team and athletics talks, staff in-service and professional development, parent nights, college orientation and residence life events, in person or virtual.
Can he do a student assembly and a parent night on the same day?
Yes, and it's one of the most effective ways to book him: students hear it in the morning, families hear it that evening, and everyone's speaking the same language at dinner.
