"Angst is a 56-minute film and virtual reality experience that explores anxiety its causes, effects and what we can do about it.

The filmmakers' goal is to have a global conversation and raise awareness around anxiety. Angst features candid interviews with kids and young adults who suffer, or have suffered, from anxiety and what they've learned about it. The film includes discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, as well as help, resources and tools." -- angstmovie.com

Not Alone

  • February 12th (Terra Linda High School) 6:30 pm

"Not Alone captures the important voices of youth with lived experience of suicide attempts, self-injury, mental health issues, and depression in a unique, engaging, and hopeful way. In an age where media surrounding these topics is largely doom and gloom, sensationalized, or glamorized, this film shines a light on hope and on helping those in need." -- Chris Maxwell, Communications Coordinator, American Association of Suicidology
