PTO Parent Education Event: Angst Movie Screening & Discussion
Jack & Nancy Becker Center for the Performing Arts - Auditorium - 154
Indian Creek is pleased to announce the showing of Angst, a film about the growing mental health concern of childhood and adolescent anxiety.
A true collaborative effort, this screening at Indian Creek was inspired by our student Reese Fortier, funded by the PTO Parent Education Committee, and supported by the Counseling Department. We hope you will join us for the screening of this 56-minute film followed by a panel discussion featuring local mental health providers and other experts in the field. Mental health resource providers will also be on hand prior to the showing of the film to answer questions and discuss further student/family supports.
The film provides a window into the struggles and triumphs of living with anxiety as an adolescent. It includes interviews with students, who share their unique stories and the ways in which their anxiety is expressed. Parent/caretaker interviews and perspectives are also included in the film, providing a realistic look at the challenges they face in recognizing and decreasing their adolescent’s pain. Angst is helpful for caregivers and extremely validating for adolescents experiencing anxiety in any form. The filmmakers successfully present the reality of the condition without sensationalizing it; the approach is sensible and empathic.
