About this webinar
Join award-winning filmmaker, author, and mental health advocate Scilla Andreen for a powerful screening of ANGST, the acclaimed documentary that explores anxiety, its impact on young people, and the importance of creating supportive environments where students feel safe to seek help.
Following the film screening, Scilla will lead an interactive conversation examining the realities of anxiety in today’s school communities, the role of connection and belonging in supporting student well-being, and practical ways educators can foster resilience and mental health literacy. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a guided discussion, reflect on key themes from the documentary, and participate in a live audience Q&A.
This session is designed to deepen understanding of student mental health while equipping school counselors, educators, and support professionals with insights and strategies that can be applied within their own school communities.
