The Human Development and Education Counseling Strand at the Harvard Graduate School of Education is thrilled to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month with a screening and youth panel discussion of the documentary, “Our Turn to Talk.” The film follows a group of courageous young people who use a podcast to discuss their mental health journeys in the hopes of breaking down the stigma and encouraging open dialogue about mental health. The event will begin with opening statements by film co-director, Beth Murphy.
Following the screening, we will host a panel discussion featuring six young people who will share their reactions to the film and thoughts about how educators can best support and address this growing concern.
Please register for the event here. Additionally, please be advised that the event will not be recorded due to youth participation.
