Meaningful Partnerships

Our film is catalyzing important conversations in recovery, survivor networks, trauma-informed care organizations, nonprofit health care companies, and beyond!

Here’s a few ways how:

Community screening events

In partnership with Ellenhorn Recovery Center and the Cole Resource Center, we hosted a free-to-the-public event in Boston to a full-house of local mental health professionals, state leadership, and community members with lived experience. Following the screening, we led a panel discussion with our partners—leaving the audience with clear takeaways for how to incorporate the film’s message in their personal and professional lives.

Conferences

We’ve presented keynote screening at dozens of conferences, including the four major behavioral health conferences hosted by the national C4 Recovery network. Conference presentations include continuing education-certified keynote screenings, deep-dive discussions with experts from the film, and red carpet screening events—ranging in length from 10 -120 minutes.

Clinical programming

We have joined forces with Terros Health, a nonprofit, integrated care provider, to launch a state-wide trauma-informed care initiative for their 1,000+ clinical staff members. Terros Health staff will attend a series of custom live training events and have access to an online educational toolkit. Their vision is to use the film in clinical practice across the state of Arizona!

CEU training events & screenings

We hosted an online CEU training event with Florida’s Treasure Coast mental health community in collaboration with The Inner Truth Project. At this online gathering of local leaders in the survivor community, we shared a full day of programming, including a CEU training on how to use the concepts presented in the film in practice and a Virtual Screening Event followed by a panel discussion.

Virtual screening events

We’ve partnered with Faces & Voices of Recovery to share the film online and on-demand with their international network. Thousands of professionals and individuals streamed the film and joined a live virtual Q&A discussion with agency leadership and the filmmakers from the comfort of their own homes.

National PBS Broadcast

Our National PBS Broadcast continues to reach audiences around the country. We’re honored to spread the message of destigmatizing access to the mental health care modalities and practices featured in the film.
