CFI Education Teen Wellness Series – Not Alone

Not Alone:

Desperate to understand why her best friend killed herself at 16, teen filmmaker Jacqueline Monetta asks her peers to share their struggles with mental illness and attempted suicide.

Through their intimate teen-to-teen conversations, we gain invaluable insights into not only their battles with depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, but also into how they successfully sought help.

Each teen paints a vivid picture of the depths of despair they suffered and how talking about it saved them, demonstrating that mental illnesses, like physical illnesses, can and should be treated.

The screening will be followed by an in-depth panel discussion featuring:

Jacqueline Monetta, co-director, Not Alone
Kiki Goshay, co-director, Not Alone
Marjorie Swig, founder, Greenlight Clinic
Kara Connors, Buckelew Suicide Prevention
Jodie NewDelman, Psy.D., clinical psychologist
