WE WRAPPED UP THE HOT DOCS - BELL LET'S TALK WORKMAN ARTS SERIES!
Our team is feeling very grateful for your support and all the wonderful testimonials from the media and the audience!
The viewing of Connecting the Dots was an amazing opportunity for my students. The stories shared by young people like themselves really spoke to them and we had some great conversations about mental health. I am grateful for all the support you have provided and for being able to utilize this amazing documentary. You have indirectly impacted my students in a positive way.
OUR GLOBAL VIRTUAL SCREENING WAS A SUCCESS!
With a full house and representation from more than 50 countries, these are some of the audience comments:
As a parent, to hear the stories directly from the youth brought home the depth of the issues, and that there is hope.
This film must be shared everywhere to help reduce the stigma associated with mental health and to empower youth to speak up and be the change that we need them to be to make a difference in our communities and society as a whole.
This was an absolutely incredible film. From start to finish, I felt emotional, understood, and loved. I learned, I cried and I leave inspired. The world needs to see this. Thank you for creating it and for providing youth with a platform to share and relate and become a part of this community.
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Amazing contributions by the young people who shared their stories, the community members supporting and advocating for them, all the advocates and young people featured, the filmmaking team and of course, Noemi, for her vision to create a platform with this film, one that young people can stand bravely and boldly upon and SHATTER THE STIGMA of mental health!
This documentary should be a wake up call for local, state and national governments to provide funding to address the mental health needs of youth.
