Let's come together to end the stigma associated with mental health. Join your friends and family for a fun, lighthearted, solutions-based evening around the topic of reducing anxiety.

The "Let's Get REEL!" film series kicks off the evening with live music from local group Orange Mountain with tasty snacks and beverages. You'll then view the critically-acclaimed documentary Angst which you can only see at an official showing (ie not available on-line/streaming services). You'll then learn a basic meditation technique to calm the nervous system and finally engage with a panel of teens and mental health professionals to understand just how common anxiety is and to learn solutions and ask questions about reducing your own anxiety.

Anxiety is one of the major stressors in teens and adults. Let's reduce this stress so members of our community can lead lives full of peace, ease and Joy. Together we can reduce anxiety, the stigma associated with mental health challenges and let our community (to borrow a phrase from our partner Robbie’s Hope) know that “it’s OK to not be OK.” By normalizing, talking about and reducing mental afflictions like anxiety we can help Robbie’s Hope hit their goal of cutting teen suicide in half by 2028.
