Teenagers are putting an end to mental health stigma. To do it, they’re telling their own stories – unfiltered – in the documentary film and teen-hosted podcast series OUR TURN TO TALK. From skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression to the impacts of racism, social media, and the pandemic, their struggles and triumphs carry a powerful message: Storytelling saves lives. In this interactive video screening, participants will critically engage with the stories and themes brought to light in this documentary through hands-on activities and group discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how teens across the country are sharing their stories and speaking out about the youth mental health crisis
• Define mental health stigma and develop an understanding of its impact
• Gain knowledge of resources available to support mental wellness
