Film Screening.


A film screening brings community members together in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere to tackle a conversation that is often silenced.

Using personal storytelling and the compelling film, NO LETTING GO, The Youth Mental Health Project seeks to spark community conversations about youth mental health in an effort to increase awareness and understanding, promote mental health literacy and inspire changes that will lead to early identification and intervention.

An award winning film, NO LETTING GO is an honest and compelling story that examines a multitude of important topics, including the toll mental illness takes on an entire family and the impact of society’s judgement.

A film screening followed by a discussion, presentation or Q & A facilitated by a speaker trained by The Youth Mental Health Project provides audiences with an opportunity to engage in open and thoughtful dialogue and gives community organizations a chance to inform, educate and engage.
