MY SISTER LIV takes us into on one sister's rare and riveting journey to understand and cope with her sister's death.

Friends School NORTH Campus (middle school)

On May 15 at 6:00pm, Friends Middle School will be showing a private screening of &quot;MY SISTER LIV&quot;. This critically acclaimed film features sisters Tess and Liv, who from a young age are inseparable, with what seems to be an unbreakable bond. However, as Liv enters adolescence and struggles with the relentless pressures of social media, depression, body dysmorphia, and oftentimes thoughts of suicide, her big sister Tess struggles to help her. &quot;My Sister Liv,&quot; is a rare and riveting journey into the life of a young girl and her loved ones. As Tess and her family learn to cope after unthinkable loss, they begin the heartbreaking journey to understand the circumstances that led to Liv&#x27;s death, and learn from experts that give real solutions and hope.Filmmakers worked with Susan Caso, MA LPC, The Liv Project’s Mental Health Director, and a team of therapists to craft the story. In addition, the film was vetted by team members at the Children&#x27;s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute to ensure the content was accurate and safe, and in no way glorified this issue. The film has been approved for youth ages 14 and up. This film was the official selection at this year&#x27;s Boulder International Film Festival.The film will be followed by a Q&amp;A with Susan Caso, MA LPC, The Liv project&#x27;s Mental Health Director and advisor on the film. The filmmaker and her mother will also be Zooming in to answer any questions. Due to the sensitive subject matter involving suicide and mental health issues, this film is intended for parents, caregivers and children over age 14 only who are accompanied by a parent.This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
