(SHS) ANGST: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety

What is causing the anxiety epidemic in our children and teens?

Join us for a special screening of the new IndieFlix documentary, ANGST: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety, followed by a student panel.

This is an opportunity for parents, students, and community members to hear from students about how anxiety impacts their lives. Resource tables staffed by mental health organizations will be available from 6:30pm – 9:00pm.

ANGST features candid interviews with youth and young adults who suffer, or have suffered, from anxiety. The film includes discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, as well as help, resources, and tools.

Parents, students (ages 10 and up), educators, and community members welcome! Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission and light refreshments.

Presented by SUHSD Wellness Advisory Council (WAC), with support from Children’s Health Council, Sequoia Healthcare District, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, SafeSpace, and The Parent Education Series.

Sequoia Parent Education Series events are sponsored by SHSEF, Sequoia Healthcare District, and Sequoia Union High School District.
