December comes with the excitement of the holidays but for many it can be a source of anxiety, depression and loneliness. These films illustrate many of the stresses, worries, and mental health issues many of our students and young people are facing year-round while emphasizing the changes that are possible.
Bring these films to your community or considering gifting a license to your local school, library, or organization.
