Help Teens Thrive
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.

Driven by a desire to understand why her best friend killed herself at 16, Jacqueline Monetta asks teens to share their struggles with mental illness and suicide attempts. Through Jacqueline's intimate teen-to-teen conversations, NOT ALONE helps audiences learn about depression, anxiety, self-harm, and getting help and treating mental illness. The film shows that mental illnesses, like physical illnesses, can and should be treated.

RACE TO NOWHERE features the stories of students who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve. Through the testimony of educators, parents and education experts, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace; students have become disengaged; stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions about hosting a screening, licensing or educational supplements that accompany the films.
