Melbourne Speaker Launches Ground-Breaking Mental Health Program at Yale School of Medicine

NEW HAVEN, CT — May 2025 — International keynote speaker and award-winning author Nikki Torres Langman has launched her newest initiative, UNBRICKABLE™, at the Yale Women’s Mental Health Conference in the United States. This ground-breaking emotional intelligence-based program uses play-based learning to transform the way students connect with mental health and resilience.

UNBRICKABLE™ is a hands-on, emotionally intelligent experience designed to help students build psychological safety, self-awareness, and peer support through symbolic construction and metaphor. The program was developed by Torres Langman, who is a certified LEGO® Serious Play® facilitator and Emotional Intelligence Master Practitioner. Her unique approach blends evidence-based emotional development with real-world, lived experience.

“We’re facing a crisis in student mental health, both in the U.S. and in Australia,” says Torres Langman. “Students are overwhelmed, isolated, and under-supported. UNBRICKABLE™ is designed to meet them where they are—not with clinical jargon, but with story, play, and connection.”

The program debuted to an audience of scholars, educators, and mental health professionals from across the Ivy League and has already attracted interest from universities seeking scalable, peer-led, non-clinical interventions that go beyond awareness campaigns.

About the Program: UNBRICKABLE™ uses interactive, metaphor-based construction techniques to help students externalise internal stressors, identify unhelpful coping tools, and explore emotional regulation in a psychologically safe environment. It is designed for delivery by lived experience or non-clinical facilitators and is supported by a forthcoming Train-the-Trainer certification model.

Following its U.S. launch, Torres Langman will now begin preparations to expand the program into Australian universities and mental health institutions. Local organizations, student groups, and education leaders are invited to express interest in piloting the program.
